WordPress 6.4.2 was released today, on December 6, 2023. It includes a patch for a POP chain introduced in version 6.4 that, combined with a separate Object Injection vulnerability, could result in a Critical-Severity vulnerability allowing attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the site.

We urge all WordPress users to update to 6.4.2 immediately, as this issue could allow full site takeover if another vulnerability is present.
