I resent your comment. We have released patches to the public for all
identified vulnerabilities, so from my perspective it's not like we're
leaving the community without a solution for known issues.
I personally believe it's better (i.e. more "responsible") to disclose an
issue with a fix for it, thus allowing admins to patch their systems, rather
than hide the problem until we're ready to go live with a new release.
If you can't wait for 1.2.18 to come out, you are welcome to patch your
system manually. With regards to the XML plugin issues, you can also simply
deactivate it.
Best regards
