Read Time:2 Minute, 3 Second

WordPress 6.2.2 is now available!

The 6.2.2 minor release addresses 1 bug and 1 security issue. Because this is a security release, it is recommended that you update your sites immediately. All versions since WordPress 5.9 have also been updated.

WordPress 6.2.2 is a rapid response release to address a regression in 6.2.1 and further patch a vulnerability addressed in 6.2.1. The next major release will be version 6.3 planned for August 2023.

The update process will begin automatically if you have sites that support automatic background updates.

You can download WordPress 6.2.2 from WordPress.org or visit your WordPress Dashboard, click “Updates,” and click “Update Now.”

Security updates included in this release

The security team would like to thank the following people for responsibly reporting vulnerabilities and allowing them to be fixed in this release. 

Block themes parsing shortcodes in user-generated data; thanks to Liam Gladdy of WP Engine for reporting this issue.

The issue above was originally patched in the 6.2.1 release, but needed further hardening here in 6.2.2. The Core team is thankful for the community in their response to 6.2.1 and collaboration on finding the best path forward for proper resolution in 6.2.2. The folks who worked on 6.2.2 are especially appreciative for everyone’s understanding while they worked asynchronously to get this out the door as quickly as possible.

Thank you to these WordPress contributors

This release was led by Jonathan Desrosiers.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Apple Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Read Time:58 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apple Products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.

Safari is a graphical web browser developed by Apple.
iOS is a mobile operating system for mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
macOS Monterey is the 18th and release of macOS.
macOS Big Sur is the 17th release of macOS.
watchOS is the mobile operating system for Apple Watch and is based on the iOS operating system.
iPadOS is the successor to iOS 12 and is a mobile operating system for iPads.
macOS Ventura is the 19th and current major release of macOS
tvOS is an operating system for fourth-generation Apple TV digital media player.
Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
