"**WordPress 4.4.1 Security and Maintenance Release** WordPress
versions 4.4 and earlier are affected by a cross-site scripting
vulnerability that could allow a site to be compromised. This was
reported by Crtc4L. There were also several non-security bug fixes: *
Emoji support has been updated to include all of the latest emoji
characters, including the new diverse emoji!
ðŸ‘👌👏 * Some
sites with older versions of OpenSSL installed were unable to
communicate with other services provided through some plugins. * If a
post URL was ever re-used, the site could redirect to the wrong post.
WordPress 4.4.1 fixes 52 bugs from 4.4. For more information, see the
[release notes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.4.1) or consult
the [list of
changes](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?milestone=4.4.1).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
