Security hole found in Akismet anti-spam plugin

Many WordPress bloggers employ the Akismet anti-spam plugin to prevent spam comments to posts. If this includes you, please update to the latest version to patch a critical persistent XXS vulnerability. You can learn more about this issue from the Akismet blog. Akismet versions 3.1.4 and lower are at risk; you can download 3.1.5 from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

All Cinch Web Services customers that run this plugin have already been updated to the latest, secure version of Akismet.
