WordPress Security and Maintenance Release: 4.9.1

Holidays are for: Family, eating too much, and security.

Don't worry you can stay distraction free when dining with friends and family this holiday season, knowing that we have handled this WordPress security release update for you and your sites. Instead of worrying if your site has been patched, you can be the one to bring it up at social gatherings and watch as your friends or family with WordPress sites become uncomfortable not knowing if their sites are secure or not.

Pagely customers will receive the WordPress 4.9.1 security release update this week. This security and maintenance release includes patches for multiple vulnerabilities including a cross-site scripting (XSS) and XML eXternal Entity (XXE) issues. This will also officially bring all customers up to the 4.9 branch from 4.8.3, unless you've previously written in requesting an upgrade to 4.9 in the last few weeks.

You can read more about this security release and specific details on what it includes here on the WordPress news blog, as well as more details on how we handle major WordPress releases (like 4.9) on our blog  here: WordPress 4.9 Release.
