WordPress 3.5.1 fixes 37 bugs

WordPress developers have announced a maintenance update to the popular open source blogging software. WordPress 3.5.1 fixes 37 bugs and addresses three security issues, including two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Users running WordPress on IIS might run into a problem that prevents the upgrade; the developers have prepared documentation to help users work around this problem. Security issues addressed in the update include a server-side request forgery problem that allowed the exposure of information through pingbacks. According to the developers, this vulnerability could help attackers compromise an unpatched WordPress site.
