Debian Bug     : 1007005 1018863 1022575

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, a web blogging
tool. They allowed remote attackers to perform SQL injection, create
open redirects, bypass authorization access, or perform Cross-Site
Request Forgery (CSRF) or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.7.8+dfsg1-0+deb11u1.
