A WordPress security release, version 4.4.1, patches more than 50 problems, including a cross-site scripting vulnerability affecting versions 4.4 and earlier.
The patch fixes a total of 52 bugs, none identified as critical, along with several non-security related updates including emoji support to include the latest characters, a fix to allow sites with older versions of OpenSSL to now communicate with other services and repairing an issue where a re-used blog post URL could be redirected to the wrong post.
