    this is relevant to my interest lolcatThis issue has been raised 4 months ago (october 2007). Certainly this is one of BadPress Ticketing Problems. Until WordPress Developer release Official securities fix (v 2.3.2.1 || 2.3.5 ?? ) You might want to try this “debatable” patch by SecuriTeam - Paul (Yabba) Jones.

    Note: Matt Mullenweg & the WP-Hackers is against secureTeam “hasty-patch” and their POC release. [wp-hackers] xmlrpc issue or no?.

    Excerpt from Wordpress Support Forum » iframe injection problem?

    Matt Mullenweg → [...] I would rather not have people think they’re safe and really not be, and there is a release coming shortly anyway. [...]
