For WordPress users that have WP-Cache installed, Ricardo Galli recently released WP-Cache Version 2.1.1.
It contains a security fix from Alex Concha to avoid CSRF attacks directed to admin pages which can inject wrong values into the configuration form, which can allow XSS attacks if those fake values are saved into the configuration file.
To update just uncompress the zip file from plugins’ directory (and overwrite older files).
As a word of warning, this version uses control functions only available in Wordpress >= 2.0. It won’t work with previous WP versions.
This is a great WordPress plugin to have installed. It’s saved the day for a lot of bloggers who get slammed with spikes in traffic.
If you’re using WordPress and want to help your server loads and prevent your site from going down if your site receives the Digg effect or gets mentioned on Slashdot, this is a must have plugin.
As a side note, apparently Ricardo is really busy with other things and is looking for someone to take care of WP-Cache. If you’d like to help keep this great plugin moving forward, I’d suggest contacting him today.

Thanks for posting this, Sean.
I’ve just installed it, and everything seems to be working perfectly.
Hi Karen.
You’re welcome for the post.
This sure is a nice plugin. I’m glad the upgrade went smooth for you.
Yes, thanks for this! I’d missed this release. I upgraded straight off yesterday morning. The upgrade was a snap. I’m not even sure I ‘d call it an upgrade. It just “was”…
Cheers Sean!
