The Wordpress development team released yet another update of the Wordpress blog script raising the version number to 2.2.1 in the process. This update contains several bug fixes that might have plagued some Wordpress blog owners while others – including myself – did not experience any of the bugs.
The more important part of this update is that it also fixes several security holes making it a required update for every webmaster. The vulnerabilities that have been fixed, they are:
- Remote shell injection in PHPMailer
- Remote SQL injection in XML-RPC Discovered by Alexander Concha.
- Unescaped attribute in default theme
I’m currently updating all my blogs with the new version which always takes a while. Make sure you download the official new version of Wordpress and update your blog at once.
As a sidenote. I’m going on a short trip to Stockholm, Sweden tomorrow where I will stay until Monday. I’m really excited about this trip and if you got any last minute tips for me then let me know. I will update my blog in the coming days as well but it could be that i write less than usual.
