CVE-2006-0733

Status: ModifiedLow (2.6)—💥 Exploit

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WordPress 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via scriptable attributes such as (1) onfocus and (2) onblur in the "author's website" field. NOTE: followup comments to the researcher's web log suggest that this issue is only exploitable by the same user who injects the XSS, so this might not be a vulnerability

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Base score: 2.6

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.83%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 92
Score date: 10/8/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
