<div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.5. This is a security release to fix the OMERO.shares API which was bypassing intended security restrictions and granting elevated privileges to read otherwise-restricted data.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Full details of the issue are available on <a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/products/omero/secvuln/2016-SV2-share">
