When will 2.6.2 go out of pre-release?

[mmajcica]

Given the following CVE https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2025-62220/ it seems that only version 2.6.2 is the one not vulnerable. However 2.6.2 is still marked as pre-release. Any idea when a stable release will become available?

Thanks

I would also like to know the answer to this question, since the vulnerability was publicly disclosed on Nov 11, 2025.

We are having to use “wsl --update --pre-release” to force an update, or disable GUI applications in WSL settings which isn't ideal.
