Welcome back to the Patchstack Weekly Security Update! This update is for week 12 of 2022.

This week in WordPress-related vulnerabilities, I will talk about 3 plugins that have each been patched due to high-risk security bugs found in their code.

I will also provide an update on the insecure Freemius library situation, and share some possible expectations for what will happen in the next few weeks.

I will then talk about defensive coding strategies for a common security bug in this week's knowledge share. A serious security bug we saw a lot of in WordPress themes in 2021 according to our whitepaper: arbitrary file upload.
