initial v1 1 1 Duplicate of #23394. 2 2 3 The version of WordPress being presented is not a security issue whatsoever. Showing it doesn't make your site any more secure, not doesit 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.3 The version of WordPress being presented is not a security issue whatsoever.
