What Changed in 4.5.2?

WordPress have advised that it is vital that you upgrade to the latest version as quick as possible, because an XSS vulnerability was found in WordPress 4.5.1 which could enable someone to hack your site.

You don’t necessarily need to understand the how, why and wherefore of that statement . . . other than it needs to be done.
