We are sorry to report the latest WordPress vulnerability which apparently has been around for four years and effects 86% of all WordPress sites. This one is a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) bug and is associated with the commonly used comment system plugin.

If you are using WordPress versions between 3.0 and 3.9.2, you will want to upgrade immediately. Version 4.0.1 seems to have overcome the problem along with some other XSS problems and a cross-site request forgery vulnerability.

The flaw has been described as the most serious in five years and could allow your site to attack the machines of your visitors as well as site administrators. 

If you are worried about Internet security or you need a new website and would like to have a chat with us at 111 Web Studio, please do give us a call at 877.397.7605 or contact us online.
