WordPress Security Issue: Upgrade to 2.3.3
February 5, 2008
Welcome to BloggingNotes. You may want to subscribe to my full text RSS feed. This message will only appear once. Thanks for visiting!
Logged into my various blogs this morning with the announcement that a new version of WordPress had been released, and that it was being classified as an “urgent security release”.
Evidently you can upgrade the whole thing, or just apply a patched copy of the xmlrpc.php file. I was able to get all of my sites upgraded almost immediately, although I still have one that I don’t have command line access to, so I’m not able to do the instant upgrade on that one. So I’ll apply the patch on that one and move on.
If you’re running a WP blog, this is something that should be addressed as quickly as possible.

Heh. It just seems that way. At least it’s not like a Linux system which theoretically you could upgrade a couple of times a day if you wanted.
Thanks very much for your comment. It’s appreciated.
