## Description

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WordPress 2.2.1
allow remote authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web script or
HTML via (1) the Options Database Table in the Admin Panel, accessed
through options.php; or (2) the opml\_url parameter to link-import.php.
NOTE: this might not cross privilege boundaries in some configurations,
since the Administrator role has the unfiltered\_html capability.
