WordPress 4.9.2 Security and Maintenance Release

The first WordPress 4.9.2 of this year was announced on January 16th, 2018. This is a security and maintenance release and we encourage you to update your sites as soon as possible.

One reason this WordPress update happened is because of a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaElement. The records have since been removed and MediaElement have released an update settling the bug. What’s more, there is also a plugin with fixed files available.

21 other bugs were fixed in the new update. Some of which are listed below:

  • JavaScript errors that prevented saving posts in Firefox have been fixed.
  • The previous taxonomy-agnostic behavior of get_category_link() and category_description() was restored.
  • Switching themes will now attempt to restore previous widget assignments, even when there are no sidebars to map.
