Who is affected?Anyone using the WordPress JetPack plugin or Twenty-fifteen theme. InMotion has already taken steps to patch the vulnerability.

The JetPack WordPress plugin and Twenty-fifteen themes include a DOM (Document Object Model) based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to a file included with the genericons package found in the Twenty-Fifteen and JetPack installations. InMotion has provided a patch for this issue already, so the problem has already been addressed for our hosting service. If you wish to be doubly sure, simply remove the genericons/example file in your installation.
