Descriptions

The default configuration of WordPress before 3.6.1 does not prevent uploads of .swf and .exe files, which might make it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted file, related to the get_allowed_mime_types function in wp-includes/functions.php.

La configuración por defecto de Wordpress anteriores a 3.6.1 no previene la carga de archivos .swf y .exe, lo que podría hacer fácil para un usuario remoto autentificado realizar ataques cross-site scripting (XSS) a través de archivos manipulados, relacionado con la función get_allowed_mime_types en wp-includes/functions.php.
