WordPress 4.2.3 Security Update Released
WordPress 4.2.3 was released this morning, as announced on WordPress.org.
The Update
This is a security update, it is important to apply it as soon as possible. It resolves a XSS vulnerability, which could allow users with Contributor or Author permissions to compromise a site. There are also a variety of small bug fixes included.
WordPress Update Process
Anyone that is set to receive minor or major/minor core updates on our system will automatically receive this over the next 24 hours.
Updates from the WordPress auto-updater are also rolling out as I write this.
The changes made in this update are relatively minor, and unlikely to cause significant problems for many sites, so I would encourage you to update immediately if you don’t have auto-updates turned on.
