We know that wordpress 2.8.4 has been released already, in fact upto now there is a problem with the lower versions a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

So friends wordpress 2.8.4 is highly recommended for all users of WordPress.

Wordpress 2.8.4:

wordPress 2.8.4 released with major security fix, so i recommended to upgrade it.  When we trying to upgrade to 2.8.4, one should need to enter their FTP, details, most of us are saying that there is an security problem for entering the ftp details. I think this is not an issue do like this,

  1. First login to your domain control pannel
  2. change the ftp password (it may take just 20 sec)
  3. Now password changed
  4. You now can give your FTP details to upgrade the 2.8.4
  5. After upgrade done ! change to your original password
  6. You done !

and another way hear is,

Automatically Update WordPress to Latest Version with Automatic Upgrade Plugin (WPAU):

We already know that wordpress does not have automatic upgrade feature by default. Whenever a new version is released, webmasters have to manually download the new Wordpress files and  extract and unpack the files, and then replace the old source codes with the new one. Some administrators download the new files to their workstations instead, and have to upload and replace the old files on web server by using FTP, but it will take more time this will avoid by this plugin Automatic Upgrade Plugin (WPAU) ,

Wordpress Automatic Upgrade is a plugin that automatically upgrades Wordpress blog version to the latest files provided by wordpress.org without having to download or upload any files. Best of all, WPAU will follow the recommended 5 steps upgrade instructions provided by Wordpress community, which ensure the complete and safe upgrade.If you don’t care about all these steps, and just want to get things done, the plugin also offers silent automated mode.
