Just thought I would let you all know that I’ve\u00a0now upgraded my Blog to WordPress 2.0.2 after a\u00a0security issue was found:<\/p>\n
An important security issue has been brought to the attention of the WordPress team and we have worked diligently to bring you a new stable release that addresses it. Our latest version 2.0.2<\/a> contains several bugfixes and security fixes.<\/p>\n
The problems addressed are unannounced XSS issues privately discovered and reported to the WordPress team. Thanks to Mark Jaquith, Robert Deaton, and David House for assisting with this release.<\/p>\n
Just a quick note: this is different than the snake-oil reports that went out on some security lists a few days ago. There were a couple, but they were either not actual security problems, too small to warrant a release, or just patently false. Remember: just because you read it on a mailing list doesn’t mean that it’s true. We’d be the first people to panic if there was an actual problem.<\/p>\n
As always, when something serious crosses our desks we jump on it and get a well-tested release out as soon as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
