This is another important security update that was brought to my attention early this morning by Jayson from hypercubed.com . You should apply this update if you are running any version of MegaBBS 2.x. This fixes a possible vulnerability that could allow a user to abuse the impersonation system.

This attached file should help fix the problem with the Administrator account being mysteriously removed as an administrator. This wasn't limited to only the Administrator account, but that was the most visible symptom.

Another small bug found - you get an error in threaded view if the bad word filter is set to 'Dynamically'. See http://www.pd9soft.com/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=4524 for full details and the simple fix.

Hi, it's been a while since the last update here. However a recent security audit has turned up a possible vulnerability in /forum/statistics/user-listing.asp

The attached file should be applied to any 2.x system. While I believe this vulnerability extends only users running on MS-SQL databases, all users including those running Access databases should patch their systems. To apply this fix, download the attached ZIP file and overwrite your /forum/statistics/user-listing.asp with the included user-listing.asp page.

This fix is included standard in the main download as of the afternoon of Sep 19 2005

To subscribe to this thread and receive e-mail notifications of all future updates, logon or register for an account, and click on the link at the bottom right "Toggle e-mail notification". All important 2.0, 2.1 updates will be posted here!

Any future 2.2 updates will be posted in a different thread.
