Oct 23, 2008
Author: Rohin | Filed under: Blog, WordPress
The boys and girls over at WordPress.org found a low-risk bug that malicious hackers could use to take you down. The hole is within the WordPress’s admin dashboard in specfic “Snoopy to fetch the feeds shown in the Dashboard”.
You don’t have to download the whole pack instead you can just download 2 files they have posted and replace them within your directory. Other than the security issue there is no changes I have seen or heard of.
So get your butt over there and update the latest patch to 2.6.3 !
If you don’t want to download the whole release to get the security fix, you can download the following two files and copy them over your 2.6.2 installation.
