Vulnerable Plugins

Both issues were discovered by Sucuri.

Other WordPress Security News

Earlier this week, WordPress released version 5.1.1 (and similar updates for branches all the way back to 3.7) which contained a crucial security update related to a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the comments. Simon Scannell from RIPSTech discovered the issue and has provided a detailed explanation of the issue. If you have not already done so, you need to update your WordPress instances immediately.

Other News

WordPress now officially powers one-third of the web (33.4% to be precise).

If you happen to be a Drupaler in the midwest, David Needham and I will be speaking at MidCamp 2019 (Midwest Drupal Camp) in Chicago and would love to chat.

Last, I want to extend a "Thank you" to Pat from Pgogy Webstuff for helping out with this week's list!
