Debian Bug : 784603
Several vulnerabilities have been found in Wordpress, the popular

The file example.html in the Genericicons icon font package and
twentyfifteen Wordpress theme allowed for cross site scripting.

The robustness of the shortcodes HTML tags filter has been
improved. The parsing is a bit more strict, which may affect
your installation.
CVE-2015-5623
A cross site scripting vulnerability allowed users with the
Contributor or Author role to elevate their privileges.
The oldstable distribution (wheezy) is only affected by CVE-2015-5622.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.1+dfsg-1+deb8u2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.2.3+dfsg-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
