WordPress 2.8.2 Security update released

A new version of the popular CMS (WordPress) is available. WordPress 2.8.2 fixes an XSS vulnerability. Comment author URLs were not fully sanitized when displayed in the admin. This could be exploited to redirect you away from the admin to another site. Wordpress bloggers are encouraged to update their blogs as soon as possible to patch the security vulnerability. This can quickly and easily be done via your WordPress administrator panel (for WordPress 2.7 and newer installations) via Tools –> Upgrade, or you can manually download it here, upload it to the web server and run the upgrade command manually.
