4.3.1 is now available. This is a security release for all previous versions and
we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.  This release

A separate cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the user list table.
Reported by Ben Bidner of the WordPress security team. *  Finally, in certain
cases, users without proper permissions could publish private posts and make
them sticky (CVE-2015-5715). Reported by Shahar Tal and Netanel Rubin of Check
Point.  WordPress 4.3.1 also fixes twenty-six bugs. For more information, see
