WordPress update 3.5.1

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Andy

There is a new Maintenance and Security Release for WordPress. The new version is version 3.5.1.

It fixes 3 quite serious issues :

  • A server-side request forgery vulnerability and remote port scanning using pingbacks. This vulnerability, which could potentially be used to expose information and compromise a site, affects all previous WordPress versions.
  • Two instances of cross-site scripting via shortcodes and post content.
  • A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the external library Plupload.
