Yesterday, a vulnerability in WordPress and Drupal was announced. Both open source communities responded with patched versions of their software that should be updated immediately.
According to Mashable, “The vulnerability uses a well-known XML Quadratic Blowup Attack — and when executed, it can take down an entire website or server almost instantly.”
This issue underscores the importance of having a strategy for keeping your site’s systems patched and updated.
