Genicons Security Flaw in WordPress
Another round of updates was released today because of a Genicons security flaw in WordPress themes and plugins. WordPress was updated to version 4.2.2 to help deal with this issue proactively.
WordPress 4.2.1 Security Patch
The WordPress 4.2.1 security patch was released today to resolve a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP commenting functionality. Now that the first patch has appeared and it's security related, it's time to update if you haven't already.
Latest WordPress Updates
Three WordPress updates were released in the last several days. A security patch was followed almost immediately by a point release and a bug fix for the security patch. If you have automatic updates enabled, you got the security patch and the bug fix, but not the point release. If you do not have automatic updates enabled, you pretty much have to update to v4.2 unless you want to apply the patches manually. Read on to see what's new in v4.2.
More WordPress Plugin Security Updates
More WordPress plugin security updates were released today. The list of plugins includes some of the most popular plugins available.
WP Super Cache Vulnerability Requires Immediate Update
