Jetpack 6.8.1: General Maintenance and Security Update

Updated on December 6, 2018 - Jeremy Herve

Jetpack 6.8.1 is now available for download. This is a general maintenance release that also addresses a security issue we found during an internal audit of the Contact Form block we introduced in the last release.

Contact Form Block security update

Keeping your sites safe is always at the top of our minds, and this update improves the security of the Contact Form block. We highly recommend that if you have used that new block on your site, you update to Jetpack 6.8.1 as soon as possible.
