# Release announcement: TablePress 2.3.2

An important security and maintenance release of TablePress is now available. TablePress
2.3.2 can be downloaded from the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/)
and will show up as an update in the WordPress Dashboard for existing users shortly.

**Updating to TablePress 2.3.2 is strongly recommend!** Changes include:

 * **Security hardening** (breaking change): Users with the “Author” user role are
   no longer allowed to import tables from URLs ([CVE-2024-4354](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-4354)).
   Thanks to the Wordfence team and to Tobias Weißhaar for following responsible
   disclosure policies when reporting this potential issue!
 * Bugfix: Improve the data type detection during an Excel import to reduce undesired
   consequences.
 * Bugfix: Properly clean up after importing a file.
 * Bugfix: Restore the data selection feature in the “Custom Search Builder” module.(
   TablePress Max only.)
 * Enhancement: Increase compatibility with sites that remove WordPress user interface
   elements for certain users.
 * Enhancement: Improve the user experience when dragging/dropping buttons in the“
   Buttons” module. (TablePress Pro and Max only.)
 * Several external code libraries and build tools have been updated to benefit 
   from enhancements and bug fixes.
