The default is that is updates automatically.

It has a very unique "cron job", wherein pages effectively fork by doing a "curl wp-cron.php". One of those jobs is a daily check for updates, and it will apply one if it exists. I've had people argue that they want to disable they behaviour, and do manual qa before updates. I can see why. But the last person I argued this with had their website replaced with a gore image because they got behind in updates.

Thanks for explaining how it works.
