CVE-2015-8834
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-includes/wp-db.php in WordPress before 4.2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a long comment that is improperly stored because of limitations on the MySQL TEXT data type.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.78%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
