More than 1,000 WordPress blogs have been modified to redirect visitors to sites serving malware, affiliate and pay-per-click redirectors, and low quality PPC search result aggregators, through the WordPress' automatic update feature.

April 23, 2012, 12:32 PM —The WordPress development team released WordPress 3.3.2 on Friday in order to address several vulnerabilities in the popular blogging platform as well as in three external libraries that are bundled with it by default.
