Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a vulnerability in the protection scheme used by WordPress before version 2.0.6. It allows malicious people to insert unwanted web scripts or HTML into websites through a type of cyber attack called CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery). This can occur when the website does not properly handle invalid characters or HTML tags in the URL variables.
