WordPress 3.0.3 security update released

The WordPress development team has released version 3.0.3 of the popular open source blogging and publishing platform, a security update for the 3.0.x branch of WordPress. According to the developers, the update addresses a privilege escalation issue in the remote publishing interface that, under certain circumstances, could have allowed Author and Contributor-level users to improperly edit, publish or delete posts.

Reportedly, the issue only affects sites that have remote publishing enabled – remote publishing is disabled by default, but may be enabled when publishing from a mobile client, such as one of the WordPress mobile applications. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible.
