Wordpress – Urgent upgrade

Published September 9, 2008 by Me

The guys over at Wordpress have rolled out an urgent upgrade up to version 2.6.2 to protect against a recent vulnerability which, although difficult to execute, does pose a threat.

Stefan Esser recently warned developers of the dangers of SQL Column Truncation and the weakness of mt_rand().  With his help we worked around these problems and are now releasing WordPress 2.6.2.  If you allow open registration on your blog, you should definitely upgrade.

Full details are in this post on their blog.
