Guess it's time to send out the mass mail to customers. As always, we'll be upgrading sites at no charge from 7.1.5.

Hi, does the reported security vulnerability also affect earlier versions like 7.0.9?

AlexT•27th of May 2015•to naibaf

Most probably yes, but we can't disclose any details, we can provide more info about the security issue some time later upon request only.
I highly recommend to update to the latest 7.1 version, since old versions can have other security issues.

Thanks AlexT. Will request for the security disclosure later. Can't upgrade at the moment cause current version has too many modifications.

I have custom work done that affects core files. So a simple upgrade is WAY out of the question. Do we know where the vulnerability lies?

If your custom work was done correctly, the developer noted the files changed, created backups of the files she/he changed, then this is not an issue. I have extensive custom changes to core files that I have done yet upgrading is not an issue because I know exactly what files were changed. I will note that I have seen experience developers here on Boonex that don't follow this simple practice because I have gone in behind them and not seeing the backup file on the server; it needs to be on the see more

There's only changes to these files:

* /flash/modules/global/inc/header.inc.php
* /inc/classes/BxDolTemplate.php
* /inc/classes/utils.inc.php
* /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndexPageView.php
* /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseProfileView.php
* /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseSocialSharing.php

However, always make a full backup before upgrading.

Backup your site first of course; including the database, you don't want an oops to render your site bye bye.

Alex, in my case I have modified core files; which means I have to check the upgrade files against my files and add into the upgrade files my changes so when I run the upgrade script it includes my core changes. That is why it is nice to know which files are in the upgrade.

geek_girl•27th of May 2015

On the upgrade; it would be nice if Boonex could provide a list of changed files. Currently I have to check through all the directories to see what files have changed so I can know which files to check against my version of the file due to custom changes I have made to Dolphin.

OK, let me be more specific. When I apply an upgrade, I have to click on each directory/directories within directories to find which files have been changed so I can then compare my files to the upgrade patch files. Having a list of the changed files would be very nice as I would no longer have to click through each directory. However, I understand that Boonex is under no obligation to provide such a list.

If anyone uses Advanced Video Embed 3.0 or Deano Head Injections 2.0, check the install instructions for those mods.

modules/boonex/videos/BxVideosSearch.php,
modules/boonex/videos/BxVideosUploader.php (for Video);

/inc/classes/BxDolTemplate.php (for Deano)

require additional changes as documented in readme/install files.
