Today one of our readers sent an interesting post from the developers of WordPress. It is about a just released version 2.8.5.

Why does this news deserve a diary? For two reasons: 1) Wordpress is one of the most popular "publishing plataform" (blogs,etc...) and free... 2) In 2008 there were 23 vulnerabilities for it and in 2009 there are 12 vulnerabilities found so far... So, this effort from the developers really deserves our attention and kudos... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pedro Bueno (pbueno /%%/ isc. sans. org) Twitter: http://twitter.com/besecure |
