If you are using WordPress, you must be aware of this security release that has just been introduced this morning from WordPress Developers Team. This release includes two security fixes as followed:
2.8.6 fixes two security problems that can be exploited by registered, logged in users who have posting privileges. If you have untrusted authors on your blog, upgrading to 2.8.6 is recommended.
The first problem is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by Benjamin Flesch. The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski, is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations. Thanks to Benjamin and Dawid for finding and reporting these.
I have just upgraded my WordPress to this version as my blog is multi-authors and this is very important as this time, the security fix targets multi-author blogs. I am a lucky man

Yes, you have done right thing :yeah:
I upgraded automatically with no issues at all. My blog has a few guest posters so I had to upgrade ASAP.
I actually thought that they would wait a bit longer and bring out version 2.9, but I think the security release is a must as there are many sites who have guest bloggers
