The latest upgrade for WordPress addresses an important XSS vulnerability in the open source application, so don’t delay installing it. Upgrading to WordPress 2.8.2 is easy.
WordPress users can get the latest version (which was released about a week ago) three ways:
- Download it here to manually upgrade.
- Initiate the upgrade automatically by clicking the Upgrade link under the Tools menu in your blog’s admin. (v 2.7 or later)
- Host your website with FireHost, and let us take care of the upgrade for you.
We’re glad to see WordPress take action to help prevent hackers from compromising websites built on the their great platform. Kudos to the WordPress team for helping keep everyone safe.
