"**WordPress 4.7.2 Security Release**

WordPress 4.7.2 is now available. This is a security release for all
previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites
immediately.

WordPress versions 4.7.1 and earlier are affected by three security
issues :

  - The user interface for assigning taxonomy terms in Press
    This is shown to users who do not have permissions to
    use it. Reported by David Herrera of Alley Interactive.

  - WP_Query is vulnerable to a SQL injection (SQLi) when
    passing unsafe data. WordPress core is not directly
    vulnerable to this issue, but we’ve added
    hardening to prevent plugins and themes from
    accidentally causing a vulnerability. Reported by Mo
    Jangda (batmoo).

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was
    discovered in the posts list table. Reported by Ian Dunn
    of the WordPress Security Team.

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