Wordpress Upgrade
If you’re a newsreader like myself, you know that there were some recent news about the XML-RPC vulnerability. I’m slightly confused by all that’s going on, since Matt didn’t seem too worried about it, but I figured the safest thing to do was to upgrade. Hey, and what do you know? A little weird design bug in my Tiger administration is fixed now! So, I’m happily using Wordpress 1.5.1.3 now. Please, let me know if you run into any problems on the site!
Notice how TextPattern isn’t part of the “vulnerable” list? :P

Does Textpattern even have support for cool things such as XML-RPC? ;^)

Hmm. You have a point. If i’m not mistaken it’s coming out in the next update.

Neczy – getting anti-Textpattern now, aren’t you? (just kidding :D)

I can’t argue with the success I’ve had with Wordpress ;o).

Update: it looks like I wasn’t under any sort of security threat at all. The original article provided misinformation. Wordpress didn’t have the same issue with XML-RPC (though there was a different one, but it was fixed). See: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2005/07/06/xmlrpc-sploit-cornfusion/

Good to stuff to know. I’m glad the threat turned out to be null and void for WP.
