The security team would like to thank the following people for responsibly reporting vulnerabilities and allowing them to be fixed in this release.

The Core team is thankful for the community in their response to 6.2.1 and collaboration on finding the best path forward for proper resolution in 6.2.2. The folks who worked on 6.2.2 are especially appreciative for everyone’s understanding while they worked asynchronously to get this out the door as quickly as possible.
Thank you to these WordPress contributors
