WordPress 5.7.2 Security Release
Posted May 13, 2021 by Peter Wilson. Filed under Releases, Security.

WordPress 5.7.2 is now available.

This security release features one security fix. Because this is a
security release, it is recommended that you update your sites
immediately. All versions since WordPress 3.7 have also been updated.

WordPress 5.7.2 is a short-cycle security release. The next major
release will be version 5.8.

You can update to WordPress 5.7.2 by downloading from WordPress.org, or
visit your Dashboard → Updates and click Update Now.

If you have sites that support automatic background updates, they’ve
already started the update process.


Security Updates

One security issue affecting WordPress versions between 3.7 and 5.7. If
you haven’t yet updated to 5.7, all WordPress versions since 3.7 have
also been updated to fix the following security issue:

    Object injection in PHPMailer, CVE-2020-36326 and CVE-2018-19296.

Thank you to the members of the WordPress security team for implementing
these fixes in WordPress.

For more information refer to the version 5.7.2 HelpHub documentation
page.


Thanks and props!

The 5.7.2 release was led by @peterwilsoncc and @audrasjb.
