A security release for ithemes Security was released that immediately affects versions 4.6.13 and 1.14.18 (Pro).
iThemes patched a stored cross site scripting(XSS) issue that could have allowed dangerous Javascript to run when viewing 404 logs. The 404 detection feature is a feature of iThemes that creates a list of the non-existent pages (the 404 pages) and stores the results in a database. The flaw allowed attackers to potentially add Javascript code to these page requests. This was a severe security issue, so the issue was immediately addressed. This fix prevents the security flaw that would allow those scripts to run when viewing the Security Logs page.
The security issue affects all versions of iThemes Security Pro and all versions of iThemes Security, including back to version 3.0.0 of Better WP Security.
If you are using iThemes, you can update in 3 ways:
Due to the severity of the flaw, the WordPress.org team put out a forced automatic update for iThemes Security. Note: If you are running an older version of iThemes Security, you are strongly recommended to update to the latest version (4.6.13).
