Jetpack, an extremely popular WordPress plugin that provides a variety of functions including security features for around five million websites, has received a critical security update following the discovery of a bug that has lurked unnoticed since 2012.

Jetpack's maintainers, Automattic, announced on Tuesday that it had worked closely with the WordPress security team to push out an automatic patch for every version of Jetpack since 2.0.

The security hole is in Jetpack's API and has been present since version 2.0 was released over a decade ago, in 2012.
