WordPress 2.3.3

WordPress 2.3.3

I had pencilled in March 24 was the next big, or milestone, day for Wordpress users, but another interim WP upgrade has been issued today.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here.

And a few more minor bug fixes can’t go amiss either.
