[Helen Flynn (Staff)]

Dear All,

Today we are releasing OMERO 5.3.5. This is a security release - see the security advisory https://www.openmicroscopy.org/security/advisories/2017-SV4-guest-user/ for further details.

It is highly recommended that you upgrade your server.

If you have not yet upgraded from 5.2.x because you are using Windows to host your server, there is a guide for migrating to Linux while upgrading to 5.3.x at https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.3.5/sysadmins/windows-migration.html

The software is available at https://www.openmicroscopy.org/omero/downloads/

Any problems or comments, please use the forums or mailing lists https://www.openmicroscopy.org/support/

Regards,

The OME Team

This security update for OMERO 5.3.5 is critical for any user handling sensitive data. The SRD SASSA Status might not seem directly related, but understanding system vulnerabilities is key. When checking your SRD SASSA Status, ensure all platforms are patched—just like OMERO’s security fixes [view grant details](https://mysrd.org.za/). Unpatched systems risk exploitation, even in routine checks.
