Well friends we have moved to the latest version 2.8.6 of wordpress and strongly recommend fellow bloggers to do so. Its a critical security issue, and as far we know this could be exploited easily on multi author blogs.
This is what wordpress has to say about these new security release 2.8.6
2.8.6 fixes two security problems that can be exploited by registered, logged in users who have posting privileges.
The first problem is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by Benjamin Flesch. The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski, is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations.
So, get it upgraded and stay safe. Download
