This bug allow the “injection” of a new administrator account in the blog; from this account it’s possibile to do anything. The suggestion for bloggers is, of course, to update their WordPress installation to the last release (at this moment it’s the 2.8.4), that is immune from this vulnerability). Users with a blog that is hosted directly on WordPress.com haven’t any concern, because the automatic update service that is offered by the network is already in action, protecting the blogs that are in hosting.
