The 6.2.2 minor release addresses 1 bug<\/a> and 1 security issue. Because this is a security release, it is recommended that you update your sites immediately. All versions since WordPress 5.9 have also been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WordPress 6.2.2 is a rapid response release to address a regression in 6.2.1 and further patch a vulnerability addressed in 6.2.1. The next major release will be version 6.3<\/a> planned for August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The update process will begin automatically if you have sites that support automatic background updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can download WordPress 6.2.2 from WordPress.org<\/a> or visit your WordPress Dashboard, click \u201cUpdates,\u201d and click \u201cUpdate Now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on this release, please visit the HelpHub site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The security team would like to thank the following people for responsibly reporting vulnerabilities and allowing them to be fixed in this release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The issue above was originally patched in the 6.2.1 release, but needed further hardening here in 6.2.2. The Core team is thankful for the community in their response to 6.2.1 and collaboration on finding the best path forward for proper resolution in 6.2.2. The folks who worked on 6.2.2 are especially appreciative for everyone\u2019s understanding while they worked asynchronously to get this out the door as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This release was led by Jonathan Desrosiers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WordPress 6.2.2 would not have been possible without the contributions of the following people. Their asynchronous coordination to deliver security fixes into a stable release is a testament to the power and capability of the WordPress community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aaron Jorbin<\/a>, Alex Concha<\/a>, Anthony Burchell<\/a>, Chlo\u00e9 Bringmann<\/a>, chriscct7<\/a>, Daniel Richards<\/a>, David Baumwald<\/a>, Ehtisham S.<\/a>, Greg Zi\u00f3\u0142kowski<\/a>, H\u00e9ctor Prieto<\/a>, Isabel Brison<\/a>, Jb Audras<\/a>, Jeffrey Paul<\/a>, John Blackbourn<\/a>, Jonathan Desrosiers<\/a>, Josepha<\/a>, Marius L.
