WordPress 5.5.2 Security and Maintenance Release

Security Updates

  • Props to Alex Concha of the WordPress Security Team for their work in hardening deserialization requests.

  • Props to David Binovec on a fix to disable spam embeds from disabled sites on a multisite network.

  • Thanks to Marc Montas from Sucuri for reporting an issue that could lead to XSS from global variables.

  • Thanks to Justin Tran who reported an issue surrounding privilege escalation in XML-RPC. He also found and disclosed an issue around privilege escalation around post commenting via XML-RPC.

  • Props to Omar Ganiev who reported a method where a DoS attack could lead to RCE.

  • Thanks to Karim El Ouerghemmi from RIPS who disclosed a method to store XSS in post slugs.

  • Thanks to Slavco for reporting, and confirmation from Karim El Ouerghemmi, a method to bypass protected meta that could lead to arbitrary file deletion.

  • Thanks to Erwan LR from WPScan who responsibly disclosed a method that could lead to CSRF.

  • And a special thanks to @zieladam who was integral in many of the releases and patches during this release.
