WP REST API version 1.2.3 and 2.0 Beta 4 address a security issue that affects sites running 1.2 or 2.0 beta. This release fixes a potential XSS vulnerability related to JSONP support in 1.2 and 2.0 of the API. Automatic updates are in progress for 1.2.3 but if your site hasn’t automatically updated, the team suggests updating manually as soon as possible.
In addition to the security release, 2.0 Beta 4 includes a number of enhancements, some of which break backwards compatibility. Developers and beta testers should read the detailed changelog and release notes.

Done and upgraded!
I’m working on a plugin which will allow third-party plugins or users to pull information based on WordPress native API. Hopefully, this API will become part of the core in one of the future major versions.
