We just got yet another update from the widely used blogging platform WordPress about a security issue discovered that can be used to exploit your blog. WordPress has just released its 2.8.2 version fixing an XSS vulnerability.
According to WordPress development blog,
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.
Better yet, if you are running a blog on this 2.8 line version, better upgrade than risk the possibility of exploiting your blog. You can download the update here.
