Wordpress 2.2.2 Released - Upgrade ASAP

shoemoney · · 1 min read
I don't post every time something upgrades but the wordpress development blog says version 2.2.2 is being released. This addresses 1 of the 7 security issues found on this page last week. The one that is fixed is a XSS exploit that allows the attacker to execute remote commands (remote shell) with the privileges of your web server. The example code given is :
/upload.php?style=%22%3E{shellcode}&tab=upload&post_id=-1337
BTW I love wordpress's priority on this one of - OMG BBQ #4689 (Wordpress uploads.php Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability) - WordPress Trac - Trac A.D.D SIDENOTE - why does wordpress name every download latest.tar.gz and say its always the newest.... Actually I think it is up to date. If you look at the wp-includes/version.php file it says $wp_version = '2.2.2'; $wp_db_version = 5183; But when I upgraded it still shows: Shoemoney - Skills To Pay The Bills 203A Dashboard 2014 WordPress Maybe its just me? UPDATE: it was just me.... hats off to wordpress for responding to this serious vulnerability so fast.
