Wordpress had just released their latest security update for both the 2.1 and 2.0 branches of Wordpress. The download is now available for immediate download as it is highly recommended for all users of both branches.
These releases include fixes for several publicly known minor XSS issues, one major XML-RPC issue, and a proactive full sweep of the WordPress codebase to protect against future problems.
As an update to the systems issue they had last month, they have taken dozens of additional precautions with the servers and systems that run WordPress.org and they appear to be working well, despite hundreds of hack attempts after they publicly disclosed there had been a problem.
They are also now aggressively monitoring all downloads for any changes or modifications, and confident the same type of problem won’t happen again.
Kudos to the Wordpress team for another great release.
