Dangerous exploit in WordPress 2.1.1

For those who have upgraded to WordPress 2.1.1, there is a dangerous exploit in the version that could undermine your blog system and you are advised by the WordPress developers to immediately upgrade to WordPress 2.1.2. According to the WordPress official blog:

If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

Since this was issued by the developers themselves, I advise those who have upgraded to do what they said and upgrade immediately. As usual, you may grab the latest version of WordPress 2.1.2 at their download page. Happy upgrading!
