Hey Guys, If you have download wordpress 2.1.1 in past 3-4 days then upgrade it to 2.1.2 immediately. I just came to know right now, so i have done that, you too do it. If you are using fantastico then you should have downloaded 2.1.1, as i did the same. Your files may include a security exploit added by the cracker. Check the below update: http://wordpress.org/development/2007/03/upgrade-212/ If you are a web host or network administrator, block access to “theme.php†and “feed.phpâ€, and any query string with “ix=†or “iz=†in it. If you’re a customer at a web host, you may want to send them a note to let them know about this release and the above information. Let me know if you require any help in doing so. I upgraded it using Shell access, which is the easiest way i could see.. Thanks,
I wrote about it 2 days ago on a post. I'll tell you something: 1. if people care to read what's written on Dashboard your post could have been useless. 2. if DP readers care to read "Security" you did a good job by posting this info. The problem is that not everyone read this group.
I've added a post about it under "Blogging", this time with the right Title Better to spam a bit just to be sure everyone knows about it.
Thanks ma0, for correcting my mistake.. i really appreciate that, i will be specific in choosing the category so that all are updated. agnivo007, you posted on 3rd march and i think i did on the same day! I don't know what i did wrong by alerting all. If you already know abt it then it is good but i thought of sharing this with all as now a days a lot of people use wordpress.
