WordPress 5.9.2 is here on March 10, 2022
WordPress 5.9.2 has been released. This version has no new features because it is a security and maintenance release. WordPress is updated with improved security and a slew of bug fixes. One bug patch and three security fixes are included in the "WordPress 5.9.2 Security and Maintenance Release.
Melar Dev & Ben Bidner played a vital role in promptly disclosing vulnerabilities of the older versions and allowing them to be addressed in this release:
- Melar Dev uncovered a Prototype Pollution Vulnerability in a jQuery dependency.
- The WordPress security team's Ben Bidner discovered a Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.
How to Get WordPress 5.9.2?
- If you are New: Go to Wordpress.org and download the latest WordPress 5.9.2 version
- If you are using a prior version: Go to your Dashboard ->>Updates and click on "Update Now."
Because this WordPress 5.9.2 release is a minor security update, we recommend that you update your site as soon as possible to avoid potentially fatal mistakes.
The Next Major Release Will Be 6.0 in May 2022.
The update is for all prior WordPress versions. As a result, we recommend that you test this update first before applying it to your WordPress site. The transition to v5.9.2 is already underway on websites that enable automatic background upgrades.
