Wow .. i just got back .. and i read a very interesting news about the recent wordpress html injection vulnerability issue that is exists on several .. um .. almost all versions of wordpress below 2.0.6 (well i dont know anything about the 1.x series of wordpress because i never use it before)
Fortunately there is already a fix for this problem and you can do it by applying the latest patch from Wordpress Trac into the templates.php file in your wp-admin directory
As as a note, if you want to see a proof of concept regarding this wordpress issue, you can go to David Kierznowski homepage and see it by yourself
And yet another note, Wordpress 2.0.6 RC2 has been released (from the WP-Testers Mailing Lists) and this new release candidate already include a fix for this problem
