The devs over at Wordpress should setup a testing server and run the Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner on it to see just how bad wordpress really is. I was totally shocked by the amount of areas in which XXS (cross site scripting) could be used against the blog. If they want a secure platform they are going to need to be a little more constructive and a little less 'up' themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love wordpress and I am running it myself but I'm totally disgusted by the lack of care and attention.
