This is a weekly series where you can get caught up on recent events relevant to open source security, with an initial focus on WordPress security.
This series is brought to you by Patchstack and your host Robert. I look forward to helping keep you regularly up to date on open source security issues here at the Patchstack weekly Update.
This is the final episode of the Patchstack Weekly podcast. All things come to an end - so it's only fitting to dedicate the last episode to software end-of-life, and how developers and website owners should handle sunsetting their projects.
We also want to thank our host, Robert, for sharing lessons on WordPress security (and beyond) over these past 68 episodes!

Patchstack Weekly - Securing Open-Source Forks
Forking is a fundamental part of open-source software - it offers anyone the opportunity to lead an existing project in a new direction. But forking also means that the owners of the new fork are taking over the responsibility for the security of their new project.
This week's knowledge share is about a rare but serious security bug that can be found in any PHP application. Luckily it is easy to avoid, and WordPress has a built-in function that developers can utilize to help secure against it.
In vulnerability news we'll cover three vulnerabilities, including one PHP Object Injection bug in the popular Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
