From our friends over at WordPress:

Posted April 26, 2011 by Ryan Boren. Filed under Releases,Security.
WordPress 3.1.2 is now available and is a security release for all previous WordPress versions.
This release addresses a vulnerability that allowed Contributor-level users to improperly publish posts.
The issue was discovered by a member of our security team, WordPress developer Andrew Nacin, with Benjamin Balter.

We will be updating all of our WordPress clients to 3.1.2 promptly. this especially important if you allow users to register as contributors or if you have untrusted users. This release also fixes a few bugs that missed the boat for version 3.1.1.

For those of you who are only hosting with us, this update is likely not covered by your plan, but we are always at the ready to assist you in the update.
