WooCommerce 3.5.2 security/fix/compatibility release notes

WooCommerce 3.5.2 is now available. This release patches a number of bugs, adds compatibility with the Twenty Nineteen theme and with PHP 7.3, and fixes one security issue. Versions 3.5.1 and earlier are affected by a stored XSS vulnerability through the API which can be exploited by users with write-access API keys, and we recommend all users running WooCommerce 3.x upgrade to 3.5.2 to mitigate it. Thanks to Karim for disclosing this vulnerability.

Important: If you will be using the Twenty Nineteen theme included with WordPress 5.0 or if you will be using PHP 7.3, you should also be using WooCommerce 3.5.2+. In this release we’ve added the necessary styling for stores to look nice in the Twenty Nineteen theme and made backwards-compatible code tweaks to prevent notices and warnings when running PHP 7.3.
