A quick glance at the WP site docs didn't answer
the question of how (or
if) they secure this process. Asking would probably be good
(whoever's doing
the updater work).
I've been looking at how WP works here and concluded this is basically not
documented at all (from a developers perspective). On the WP IRC nobody
seems to know anything about it, and my looking through the code itself has
gotten me few insights into how updates and installation is secured. If
anyone know more about this (esp what's up with the WP deployment
repository), please contact me, this would be of great help for my GSoC
project.
