WordPress 5.2.3 Patches Several XSS Vulnerabilities
September 5, 2019
https://www.securityweek.com/wordpress-523-patches-several-xss-vulnerabilities

As far as security is concerned, WordPress 5.2.3 mostly patches cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Two of them have been reported by Simon Scannell of RIPS Technologies, including XSS bugs in post previews and in stored comments.
Earlier this year, RIPS disclosed two other WordPress vulnerabilities, both of which can be exploited for remote code execution.

WordPress developers have also credited Anshul Jain for a reflected XSS bug related to media uploads, Zhouyuan Yang of Fortinet for an XSS in shortcode previews, and Soroush Dalili of NCC Group for a URL sanitization issue that can lead to XSS attacks.
Ian Dunn of WordPress’ core security team found a reflected XSS vulnerability in the dashboard.
