# WHMCS Security Update – 01/27/2016

Recently WHMCS released a security update that has been marked as Trivial to Important on their [security level scale](https://docs.whmcs.com/Security_Levels). This should be addressed immediately if you are running a version older than 6.2.1. You may perform this update [within WHMCS](https://docs.whmcs.com/Upgrading) or [within Softaculous](/support/edu/cpanel/upgrade-within-softaculous/) if that is how you installed the software. If you have any questions feel free to [contact our support department](/support/amp/how-to-get-great-technical-support/).

Once sufficient time has passed, WHMCS will update their [security release notes](https://blog.whmcs.com/?t=110766) with more information on the flaws that provoked this security update.
