WordPress 4.7.5 has been released

Like with any WordPress update that gets released, it is always a good idea to make sure you have a solid backup before you update.  But I'm sure the actual question many of you have is what's in this latest maintenance release?

• This is mainly a security release that patches 3 bugs as well.
• 4.7.5 patches the following security issues
  • Insufficient redirect validation in the HTTP class.
  • Improper handling of post meta data values in the XML-RPC API.
  • Lack of capability checks for post meta data in the XML-RPC API.
  • A cross-site request forgery (CRSF) vulnerability in the filesystem credentials dialog.
  • A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when uploading large files.
  • A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Customizer.

Because this is primarily a security release, it is recommended to update your WordPress sites as soon as possible.
