almost trivial, to get information out to people on the web.

Ronni Skansing. * Improper handling of post meta data values in the XML-RPC

API. Reported by Sam Thomas. * Lack of capability checks for post meta data

in the XML-RPC API. Reported by Ben Bidner of the WordPress Security Team. *

A Cross Site Request Forgery (CRSF) vulnerability was discovered in the

filesystem credentials dialog. Reported by Yorick Koster. * A cross-site

scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered when attempting to upload very

large files. Reported by Ronni Skansing. * A cross-site scripting (XSS)

vulnerability was discovered related to the Customizer. Reported by Weston Ruter
