Can I get confirmation on details of these issues so I can properly
assign CVEs? Thanks!

Basically it applies filters to pingbacks, things like:
return new IXR_Error(33, __('The specified target URL cannot be used
as a target. It either doesn't exist, or it is not a pingback-enabled
resource.')); so I was largely abl to confirm this one.

I found one instance of esc_attr() to esc_url() on a url used in
embedded media, I'm guessing this is the XSS mentioned in the
description as "post content"?
All I'm seeing for shortcodes related junk is in a big JavaScript blob
wp-35/wp-includes/js/media-editor.min.js. It looks like this might
need two CVEs if they are widely different.

The diff for plupload is a mess of JavaScript/binary files so I can't
confirm much.
Thanks.
