WordPress has just released the latest version 3.0.2 to fix a few critical vulnerabilities :-
- Fixed moderate security issue where a malicious Author-level user could gain further access to the site.
- Remove pingback/trackback blogroll whitelisting feature as it can easily be abused.
- … and more.
Files affected in this upgrade are :-
- wp-includes/ms-files.php
- wp-includes/version.php
- wp-includes/comment.php
- wp-includes/functions.php
- wp-includes/load.php
- wp-includes/canonical.php
- wp-includes/capabilities.php
- readme.html
- wp-admin/includes/plugin.php
- wp-admin/includes/file.php
- wp-admin/includes/update-core.php
- wp-admin/plugins.php
This update is a mandatory security update, so an upgrade from any older version is highly recommended. Just go to your WordPress Dashboard > Update, select “Upgrade Automatically” or “Download 3.0.2” to manually update the files listed above.
Cheers!
