WordPress 4.2.4 Security and Maintenance Release
WordPress 4.2.4 is now available. This is a security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.
This release addresses six issues, including three cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and a potential SQL injection that could be used to compromise a site, which were discovered by Marc-Alexandre Montpas of Sucuri, Helen Hou-Sandà of the WordPress security team, Netanel Rubin of Check Point, and Ivan Grigorov. It also includes a fix for a potential timing side-channel attack, discovered by Johannes Schmitt of Scrutinizer, and prevents an attacker from locking a post from being edited, discovered by Mohamed A. Baset.
Our thanks to those who have practiced responsible disclosure of security issues.
WordPress 4.2.4 also fixes four bugs. For more information, see: the release notes or consult the list of changes. * the release notes: https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.2.4 * the list of changes: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/log/branches/4.2?rev=33573&stop_rev=33396
