Wordpress just released information on a security risk within one of their installation versions. They highly recommend upgrading your Wordpress installation. A hacker gained access to the Wordpress.org server and modified the installation two files in WP to include code that would allow for remote PHP execution.
Does this affect you?
Apparently the hack only exists in the Wordpress installation version 2.1.1. If you downloaded this version, you NEED to upgrade your wordpress installation to 2.1.2 immediately.
