More information:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in wordpress, a web blogging tool. They would allow remote attackers to hijack victims' credentials, access sensitive information, execute arbitrary commands, bypass read and post restrictions, or mount denial-of-service attacks.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 4.1+dfsg-1+deb8u12.

For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.1+dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
