December 31st, 2007 | Category: Security & Spyware, Internet, Open Source, Social Networking, Blogging

The tough working folks at WordPress.org have not taken the holidays off. In fact, news broke on Friday of a bug that allowed a would-be hacker access to future, draft, and pending posts.

But WordPress.org has unleashed WordPress 2.3.2 and has labeled the update an “Urgent protection Release”. whether you are the purveyor of a WordPress blog, we’d propose you run right out and update.

To get the latest version of WordPress, head by to their download page and install the update.

As an added bonus, WordPress 2.3.2 allows you to define your own custom Database Error Page. At final. No more canned page that screams “I don’t know how to configure MySQL”!

We say thanks to WordPress.org for responding quickly to bugs reported just a few days ago!
