WordPress 6.0.3 Security Release


WordPress 6.0.3 is now available!

This release features several security fixes. 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 6.0.3 is a short-cycle release. The next major release
will be version 6.1 planned for November 1, 2022.

If you have sites that support automatic background updates, the
update process will begin automatically.

You can download WordPress 6.0.3 from WordPress.org, or visit
your WordPress Dashboard, click “Updates”, and then click
“Update Now”.

For more information on this release, please visit the HelpHub site.
