At heart I’m a geek, and by trade I’m a systems administrator, so I monitor a lot of security based websites and news feeds. Today I noticed a posting of a security vulnerability in the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin for wordpress. The authors have released an updated version. It’s very easy and recommended to update to the latest version.

How to update:

1 Download version 2.3 of the plugin.
2 Sign in to your WordPress admin control panel.
3 Under Plugins, locate the current FeedSmith plugin, and click “Deactivate.”
4 Copy the plugin file, FeedBurner_FeedSmith_Plugin.php into your default WordPress plugin directory, wp-content/plugins/
5 Reactivate the plugin by logging in to your WordPress administration area, clicking Plugins, then clicking Activate at the end of the “FeedBurner FeedSmith” row
