Eagle2 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just want to bring it to BF's administration that there's been a flaw in the security of vBulletin forums. Check this out http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10714192 Perhaps this was fixed after the last hacker, but I just wanted to make sure there were no vulnerabilities to the forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 This bug was found in a specific version of vB, and we're not using that version. Moreover, it's been already fixed yesterday (and we have been alerted by vB directly as well of both the vulnerability and fix via the usual subscriber newsletter). But thanks anyway for pointing it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 PS. Incidentally, and without going into details, we have additional security precautions in place which would have rendered even the capture of a forum admin login nearly useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The flaw affects version 3.8.6 of the software Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.6.10 I think we're in the clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle2 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Alright, thats great to hear. Just wanted to point that out incase it hadn't been updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 We've avoided upgrading for a while now because we have a lot of custom code and modules that would have to be redone. Plus, a couple of their updates were... well... not the best they've ever put out This version seems to be pretty solid, still, therefore we'll likely keep it until either it is compromised or vB introduces some new feature we feel is worth the pain of upgrading.
