A flaw was found in our XML- > RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid > user to edit posts of any other user on that blog. In addition to fixing this > security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in > the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over > your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691700) * [@motocafe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/motocafe/): Check the “[blog](http://wordpress.org/development/)” link at the top of every page (also in your WP Dashboard page). * [Charles E.

I had to switch to “Default” * [frewfrux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frewfrux/) * (@frewfrux) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691742) * The last time I upgraded I lost all the customization I had made to my theme. Even trying to restore from my backup did not restore the modified files. * Is there anything different about this upgrade from the last one that deleted weeks worth of work? * [Charles E. Frees-Melvin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thee17/) * (@thee17) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691748) * just upload the changed files mentioned above. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691749) * Frewfrux: This might seem overly obvious in hindsight, but don’t change the “ Default” theme. If that’s your base, make a copy of it in a sep. theme directory and work from there. That way, updates to Default won’t impact you. * [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abinidi/) * (@abinidi) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691786) * If I’ve got a blog on 2.2.2 (for plugin reasons) do I need to update that one as well? What release is vulnerable? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691793) * Usually, **EVERY** earlier release is vulnerable. * [frewfrux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frewfrux/) * (@frewfrux) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-233-is-available/#post-691796) * Heh, yeah…Hindsight is 20/20. From the looks of it I can just update specific files. The last update I did was from one version of WordPress to another, so that wasn’t an option.
