<strong>New</strong> <strong>WordPress</strong> <strong>4.8.2</strong> <strong>Featuring</strong> <strong>Nine</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Fixes</strong><br />
<strong>WordPress</strong> 4.8 was an awesome invention of the <strong>WordPress</strong> community. With the help of this<br />
version, <strong>WordPress</strong> development companies resolved almost all the errors and bugs found in the<br />
previous versions. But the latest <strong>WordPress</strong> <strong>4.8.2</strong> is now available with top nine security fixes that<br />
will enhance the productivity of your website built with <strong>WordPress</strong> development. Though it is a<br />
minor upgrade along with a minor security release and hence if you are using the <strong>WordPress</strong>, it will<br />
be automatically updated within 24 hours if you have enabled the auto update in your platform.<br />
This <strong>WordPress</strong> update includes solution to fix $wpdb->prepare() to secure against the SQL<br />
injection attacks. Though WP core isn’t vulnerable to the SQL injection attacks directly, there are<br />
certain plugins and themes that may become vulnerable depending entirely on the way the above<br />
function is used.<br />
The maintenance of this updated <strong>WordPress</strong> version contains the solution for various errors such as<br />
Cross Site Scripting (XSS). It fixes the errors caused in oEmbed discovery, The visual editor, The<br />
plugin editor, and in template names.<br />

<strong>WordPress</strong> contains a pretty slick operation for the security of the third party plugins and themes is<br />
the finest feature in the recently released updates of the <strong>WordPress</strong> security.<br />
It is important to crystallize the $wpdb->prepare() because the biggest defense against SQL<br />
injection attacks is to make sure that SQL query gets escaped in a correct manner.<br />
This will stop the database engine from treating user supplied data as code and hence stops hackers<br />
from corrupting the queries to own ends.<br />
In order to complete your escaping, prepare is the best way!
These security fixes will affect all the versions before 4.8. <strong>WordPress</strong> states that only 40% of the<br />
<strong>WordPress</strong> websites uses the official and supported version of <strong>WordPress</strong>.<br />
Avoiding updating of the software is like giving a chance to the criminal to ruin your website. The<br />
existence of the vulnerabilities is public. When the software is not upgraded regularly, it becomes<br />
more likely to get exploited. It is more important to update to <strong>4.8.2</strong> as soon as possible.<br />
