via ithemes.com => original post link

Since last week, 89 total vulnerabilities emerged in public disclosure. They may affect over one million WordPress sites. There are 43 plugin vulnerabilities and five theme vulnerabilities with security patches, so run those updates!

Additionally, there are 37 plugin vulnerabilities and four theme vulnerabilities with no patch available yet. If you use an unpatched plugin or theme, check their vendors’ intentions and progress on a security release. Suppose no patch is forthcoming or the vulnerable software has been marked “closed” and dropped from the official WordPress theme and plugin repositories. In that case, you should consider deactivation and removal in favor of alternative solutions.
