Just a few hours ago, Automattic released WordPress 2.3.3 which fixes the flaw found in the XML-RPC implementation of WordPress which would allow a valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog.

A recommended update for your WordPress powered blog and I suggest you do so. I saw a couple of blogs being exploited because of an outdated WP engine. We don’t want to have someone exploit the bugs on your own blog, do we now?

With version 2.3.3, it also includes some few minor bugs that can be found here. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy over your existing xmlrpc.php.
