A new version of WordPress, 7.0.4, has been released, and it includes a fix for a security issue. This is a security-focused release, so it is recommended to apply the update as soon as possible to patch gaps that could let unauthorized people access, modify, or harm your website, and keep your site and its visitor data safe.
You can update to this version right now directly from your site's WordPress Dashboard: just go to the Updates section and click the Update Now button. You can also download the update package from the official WordPress.org website if you prefer to install it manually.
