WordPress Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability (CVE-2018-5776)

• WordPress before 4.9.2 has XSS in the Flash fallback files in MediaElement (under wp-includes/js/mediaelement).

Oracle WebLogic Server Authorization Vulnerability (CVE-2018-2625)

• Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Web Services). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.2.0.
• This easily exploitable vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data.
• CVSS 3.0 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts).

Apache Tomcat Incorrect Documented CGI Search Algorithm (CVE-2017-15706)

• As part of the fix for bug 61201, the documentation for Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M22 to 9.0.1, 8.5.16 to 8.5.23, 8.0.45 to 8.0.47 and 7.0.79 to 7.0.82 included an updated description of the search algorithm used by the CGI Servlet to identify which script to execute. The update was not correct. As a result, some scripts may have failed to execute as expected and other scripts may have been executed unexpectedly. Note that the behavior of the CGI Servlet has remained unchanged. It is only the documentation of the behavior that was wrong and has been corrected.

IBM WebSphere Privilege Escalation Vulnerability (CVE-2017-1731)

• IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 could provide weaker than expected security when using the Administrative Console. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to possibly gain elevated privileges.
