WordPress 2.8.6 Security Release
Posted November 12, 2009 by Ryan Boren. Filed under Releases, Security.

2.8.6 fixes two security problems that can be exploited by registered,
logged in users who have posting privileges.  If you have untrusted
authors on your blog, upgrading to 2.8.6 is recommended.

The first problem is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by
Benjamin Flesch.

The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski,
is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited
in certain Apache configurations.

Thanks to Benjamin and Dawid for finding and reporting these.
