CVE-2007-1622

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-admin/vars.php in WordPress before 2.0.10 RC2, and before 2.1.3 RC2 in the 2.1 series, allows remote authenticated users with theme privileges to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO in the administration interface, related to loose regular expression processing of PHP_SELF.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Base score: 4.3

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.78%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 93
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.
