In Jetpack 3.7.1 we made a lot of improvements to the software, including some important security updates:

  • Mitigating a potential stored XSS vulnerability in the Contact Form. Thanks to Marc-Alexandre Montpas from Sucuri.
  • Mitigating a potential information disclosure in the software. Thanks to Jaime Delgado Horna of Listae.

Other notable updates in this release include:

  • Updating the Google+ logo in our sharing buttons.
  • Adding custom capabilities for module management for multisite installs.
  • Fixing a bug that was sending the contact form response fields in the wrong order.

In Jetpack 3.7.2, we fixed an error with the REST API that created multiple drafts and multiple published posts when posting using the REST API.

Full changelog can be found on our plugin page.
