Comment (by domainsupport):
Sorry for the delay in commenting here.
This update has been nothing short of a disaster. I cannot understand how
there was no warning of such a destructive, automatic roll out!
We have managed to rollback affected sites to v6.2 and block automatic
core updates until there is a suitable solution. Which we hope is imminent
due to the reported security issues!
Shortcode Blocks, in our opinion, are absolutely essential to the design
process when using Block Themes.
We use them to inject classic menus that can have dynamic menu items (such
as sign out), dynamic header content, specialised loops and footer content
that’s as simple as showing the current year in the copyright statement to
showing a contact form or other such dynamic content. And that’s just what
I can think of from the top of my head.
I realise that a security issue needed to be resolved but there **must**
be some kind of compromise so we can re-enable such a core feature of
WordPress without the security risk.
I would appreciate it if someone could urgently point me towards the
documentation of the security risk so I might offer a solution that allows
the Shortcode block to remain operational.
Thank you,
Oliver
