We have recently been advised of a serious vulnerability in WooCommerce, a common WordPress plugin for ecommerce. A critical vulnerability was identified in WooCommerce (versions 3.3 to 5.5) and the WooCommerce Blocks feature plugin (versions 2.5 to 5.5).

They have stated they are rolling out automatic updates, but are advising that you update to 5.5.1 manually to be safe. It is not clear if these updates will happen even if you have automatic updates off for plugins- like most people do.
In any case, if you need our professional services team to help verify or install updates, please reply and get on the production schedule. All work will be completed on a first come first serve basis.
