Medium (6.5) in wordpress wordpress. EPSS 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

WordPress before 2.0.5 does not properly store a profile containing a string representation of a serialized object, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a string that represents a (1) malformed or (2) large serialized object, because the object triggers automatic unserialization for display.
