    3 The version of WordPress being presented is not a security issue whatsoever. Showing it doesn't make your site any more secure, not does it make it less secure. There is zero security benefit whatsoever in hiding that a site is WordPress powered, or what version of WordPress it is. 99% of attackers or bot attackers will just try their attack without seeing if your site has an affected version, and the 1% who do care can just as easily (and they do) just compare the contents of the Javascript and CSS files, among many other things.
