WordPress 7.1.4

This security release features fixes for multiple issues.

Because this is a security release, it is recommended that you update
your sites immediately.

You can download WordPress 7.1.4 from WordPress.org, or visit your
WordPress Dashboard, click “Updates”, and then click “Update Now”. If
you have sites that support automatic background updates, the update
process will begin automatically.

WordPress 7.1.4 is a short-cycle release. The next major release will
be version 7.2, currently planned for December 8th.
