WordPress 6.0.2 Security and Maintenance Release
WordPress 6.0.2 is now available!
This security and maintenance release features 12 bug fixes on Core, 5 bug
fixes for the Block Editor, and 3 security fixes. Because this is a security
release, it is recommended that you update your sites immediately. All versions
since WordPress 3.7 have also been updated.
WordPress 6.0.2 is a short-cycle release. You can review a summary of the main
updates in this release by reading the RC1 announcement.
The next major release will be version 6.1 planned for November 1, 2022.
If you have sites that support automatic background updates, the update process
will begin automatically.
You can download WordPress 6.0.2 from WordPress.org, or visit your WordPress
Dashboard, click "Updates", and then click "Update Now".
For more information on this release, please visit the HelpHub site.
Security updates included in this release
The security team would like to thank the following people for responsibly
reporting vulnerabilities, and allowing them to be fixed in this release:
o Fariskhi Vidyan for finding a possible SQL injection within the Link API.
o Khalilov Moe for finding an XSS vulnerability on the Plugins screen.
o John Blackbourn of the WordPress security team, for finding an output
escaping issue within the_meta().
Thank you to these WordPress contributors
The WordPress 6.0.2 release was led by @sergeybiryukov and @gziolo.
WordPress 6.0.2 would not have been possible without the contributions of more
than 50 people. Their asynchronous coordination to deliver several enhancements
and fixes into a stable release is a testament to the power and capability of
the WordPress community.
