Jetpack recently found a vulnerability hiding in the Carousel function, thanks to which it is possible to display comments for each image.
No details about this bug have been reported yet, but it is known that Automattic has solved the problem by changing the authorization logic.
The company said in a statement that the bug affects all versions of the plugin since Jetpack 2.0, released in November 2012. Jetpack developers add that they are not aware of the exploitation of this problem by hackers in real attacks.
Since the specialists have prepared and force-distribute patches for all versions of the plugin since version 2.0, the download statistics available on WordPress Plugins now confirm that most installations have already received updates.
This is not the first time Automattic has released mandatory security updates to fix plugins or the CMS itself.
WordPress core developer Samuel Wood has previously said that the feature has been used “many times”, although he did not elaborate on the details. In 2015, another WordPress developer stated that the Force Plugin Update feature has only been used five times since its introduction in 2013.
