"**WordPress 4.2.4 Security and Maintenance Release**
WordPress 4.2.4 is now available. This is a security release for all
previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites
immediately.
This release addresses six issues, including three cross-site
scripting vulnerabilities and a potential SQL injection that could be
used to compromise a site, which were discovered by Marc-Alexandre
Montpas of Sucuri, Helen Hou-Sandi of the WordPress security team,
Netanel Rubin of Check Point, and Ivan Grigorov. It also includes a
fix for a potential timing side-channel attack, discovered by Johannes
Schmitt of Scrutinizer, and prevents an attacker from locking a post
from being edited, discovered by Mohamed A. Baset.
Our thanks to those who have practiced responsible disclosure of
security issues.
WordPress 4.2.4 also fixes four bugs. For more information, see: the
release notes or consult the list of changes.

**WordPress 4.2.3 Security and Maintenance Release**
WordPress 4.2.3 is now available. This is a security release for all
previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites
immediately.
WordPress versions 4.2.2 and earlier are affected by a cross-site
scripting vulnerability, which could allow users with the Contributor
or Author role to compromise a site. This was initially reported by
Jon Cave and fixed by Robert Chapin, both of the WordPress security
team, and later reported by Jouko Pynnonen.
We also fixed an issue where it was possible for a user with
Subscriber permissions to create a draft through Quick Draft. Reported
by Netanel Rubin from Check Point Software Technologies.
Our thanks to those who have practiced responsible disclosure of
security issues.
WordPress 4.2.3 also contains fixes for 20 bugs from 4.2. For more
information, see :
