This hub brings together LinuxPanda’s WordPress release and security coverage for site owners and Linux administrators. It prioritizes supported versions, primary advisories and practical actions that can be verified on a staging website.
Current WordPress coverage
- Critical Mailgun for WordPress vulnerability — affected versions, realistic risk and the safe update path.
- WordPress 7.1 release and update guide — changes, backups, compatibility checks and deployment advice.
- WordPress 7.1 RC3 — the final testing stage before the stable release.
Safe update principles
- Confirm the installed core, PHP and plugin versions.
- Create a verified database and files backup.
- Test critical functions on staging when possible.
- Use official project or vendor advisories as the primary source.
- Recheck login, email, forms, caching and scheduled tasks after deployment.
Security stories are updated when affected versions, exploitation status or vendor guidance materially changes. LinuxPanda does not change dates merely to make an older story appear new.
