Log Message:
Security update to 4.0.1.
Changes:
- Three cross-site scripting issues that a contributor or author could use to
compromise a site.
- A cross-site request forgery that could be used to trick a user into changing
their password.
- An issue that could lead to a denial of service when passwords are checked.
- Additional protections for server-side request forgery attacks when WordPress
makes HTTP requests.
- An extremely unlikely hash collision could allow a userâs account to be
compromised, that also required that they havenât logged in since 2008 (I
wish I were kidding).
- WordPress now invalidates the links in a password reset email if the user
remembers their password, logs in, and changes their email address.
