WordPress Security Holes

Heads up for those using WordPress for their blogs. :shock:

Security vulnerabilities have been found in WordPress, the popular PHP-based open source blogging application. Some scripts in WordPress are not properly validated, leaving the program open to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks in which third parties could insert content into a WordPress-driven site.

Hat tip to Slashdot for the scoop. I’m sure the WordPress developers will have a fix out soon.
