Details

The getallowedmimetypes function in wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not require the unfilteredhtml capability for uploads of .htm and .html files, which might make it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted file.
