Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

WordPress, web development, and world domination.

WordPress Security

Last week, some reports came out about security bugs in WordPress. The development team has been working to clean these up, and a WordPress 1.2.1 release was announced today. Obviously, these fixes have also gone into the 1.3-alpha version which is currently under development.

We appreciate the WordPress community’s patience while we fixed the problems. If you are running WP 1.2 or older, and can’t upgrade immediately for some reason, you can protect yourself very easily. Simply click the “Logout” button in the admin screens whenever you don’t need to be in the admin interface.

If you’re ready to upgrade, download WordPress 1.2.1 from the usual location.
