WordPress 5.8.1 which is a short-cycle security and maintenance release is now ready. The latest release comes with 60 bug fixes and 3 security fixes. The WordPress team urged users to update their websites as soon as possible for their websites’ safety. The team also said that the next major release will be version 5.9.

Fixed security issues are listed below:

  • A data exposure vulnerability within the REST API is fixed.

  • An XSS vulnerability in the block editor was discovered during the 5.8 release’s beta period.
