All the best for a thoughtful and productive Monday.<\/p>\n
You would be hard-pressed to find a site not affected by the XSS Vulnerability. In other words, update your plugins right now if you haven’t already. Sucuri and the WordPress core security team have spent the past week working to address a cross-site scripting vulnerability discovered in more than a dozen popular plugins<\/a>, including JetPack, Gravity Forms and Easy Digital Downloads. The vulnerability stems from the improper use of the add_query_arg() and remove_query_arg() functions.\u00a0It turns out\u00a0inaccurate information in the WordPress Codex<\/a>, leading many developers to assume these functions would properly escape user input, is to blame.<\/p>\nGoDaddy has bought out Elto, a marketplace for expert WordPress developers<\/a>. The company originally started out as a WordPress customization service called Tweaky. According to TechCrunch, the acquisition is part of the web host’s plan to expand its resources for small businesses.<\/p>\nGitHub has launched a Licenses API<\/a> to help open source developers license their code.<\/p>\nOn this week\u2019s episode of WPwatercooler<\/a>, the folks discuss running a large scale website on WordPress.<\/p>\nAnd on the KitchenSinkWP<\/a> podcast, host Adam Silver shares some insight into his business after a client jumped ship and ditched WordPress.<\/p>\nLastly for this section, applications to host WordCamp Europe next year close this week<\/a>.<\/p>\nJust Five Minutes<\/h3>\n(Opinion)<\/h4>\nDoes the Famous WordPress 5 Minute Install actually live up to its moniker?
