WordPress 7.1.3 Security Release Fixes Seven Vulnerabilities Including Stored XSS and SQL Injection
The WordPress development team has released version 7.1.3 as a maintenance and security update addressing multiple vulnerabilities. The release includes seven security fixes and four additional bug corrections. Among the security issues resolved is a stored cross-site scripting flaw that allowed pending comments to execute scripts in the administrative interface. Other fixes cover a denial-of-service condition in URL handling, an SQL injection vulnerability in the WXR export feature, and unauthorized disclosure of comments attached to private or unpublished posts. Additional patches address an XSS issue in the Imgur embed functionality, improper sticky post permissions for users with the Author role, and a parameter manipulation problem affecting hook action names.
