The upgrade to 3.0.5 was resleased yesterday. From the release notes:
Two moderate security issues were fixed that could have allowed a Contributor- or Author-level user to gain further access to the site.
One information disclosure issue was addressed that could have allowed an Author-level user to view contents of posts they should not be able to see, such as draft or private posts.
Two security enhancements were added. One improved the security of any plugins which were not properly leveraging our security API. The other offers additional defense in depth against a vulnerability that was fixed in previous release.
Download and upgrade now!

As also noted on the blog, it’s time to upgrade (if you haven’t already) to version 2.9 of WordPress. There are a huge whack of benefits and improvements (over 500 bugfixes), like the online image editor and easier video embedding that’s included now.
Well done, guys!!
When doing the upgrade, just make sure all the /pomo/ files and wp-settings are updated appropriately…

Just got another comment posting request relating to a version 5.0 release of automated forum/blog spamming software which is guaranteed to get your customers ‘closer to your products’ by improving product and site visibility. It can also do in-forum PMs ‘for a more personal touch’ — ie violate any terms and conditions of a user environment to spam the web for cheap cross-links (at $540 for the app — including automatic Captcha recognition).
