What actions should I take with my store?
Stores hosted on WordPress.com and WordPress VIP have already been secured. We are working with the WordPress.org Plugin Team to automatically update as many stores as possible to secure versions of WooCommerce. We also urge you, however, to take the following added precautions to safeguard your site:
Update your copy of WooCommerce to the latest version (5.5.1) released on 15th July 2021 or the highest number possible in your release branch.
If you are running the WooCommerce Blocks feature plugin, you’ll need to update it to the latest version (5.5.1).
