Straight off from the [WordPress.org](http://www.wordpress.org):

> An important security issue has been brought to the attention of the WordPress team and we have worked diligently to bring you a new stable release that addresses it. Our [latest version 2.0.2](http://wordpress.org/download/) contains several bugfixes and security fixes.
> 
> The problems addressed are unannounced XSS issues privately discovered and reported to the WordPress team. Thanks to Mark Jaquith, Robert Deaton, and David House for assisting with this release.
> 
> Just a quick note: this is different than the snake-oil reports that went out on some security lists a few days ago. There were a couple, but they were either not actual security problems, too small to warrant a release, or just patently false. Remember: just because you read it on a mailing list doesn€„¢t mean that it€„¢s true. We€„¢d be the first people to panic if there was an actual problem.
> 
> As always, when something serious crosses our desks we jump on it and get a well-tested release out as soon as possible.
