<p>Like any other software WordPress does have bugs and security vulnerabilities. They get fixed when the developers become aware of them.<br />
However, sometimes several WordPress releases are vulnerable. The problem is that the developers do not backport security updates to older WordPress releases.<br />
As a result, those who do not want to upgrade their WordPress installations (for example, because newer WP releases tend to consume more system resources and<br />
upgrade may result in having to use more expensive hosting) remain vulnerable.</p>
<p>ICS Security Fixes is the plugin for those who do not upgrade their WordPress: the plugin tries to fix known WordPress vulnerabilities<br />
at that remaining compatible with as many old WordPress releases as possible.<br />
And though it cannot fix all known vulnerabilities, it makes older WordPress installations more secure.</p>
<h3>Warning</h3>
<p>This plugins requires that PHP 5 be installed. PHP 4 is not supported.</p>


ICS Security Fixes

The plugin tries to fix known WordPress vulnerabilities for older WordPress versions. Warning: For PHP 5 only.
