WordPress critical security release

Hi Everyone,

Hope I got the correct forum here....

But if you aren't aware nor have auto-update selected. WordPress has released version 4.1.2 which addresses a few security vulnerabilities and it is highly recommended that you update ASAP.

Just another FYI. WordPress has released a security patch (4.2.1) for the latest WordPress "Powell" 4.2.

It is highly recommended to upgrade your WordPress installs or run the risk of your site/s to be compromised.

Quote from WordPress
"A few hours ago, the WordPress team was made aware of a cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could enable commenters to compromise a site."

That is great.

It amazes me the number of installations that aren't updated.
