MiaCMS 4.6.5 Security Patch 1 Released |
|
Written by The MiaCMS Team
|
As you may or may not be aware, within the last
day or two there has been a MiaCMS SQL injection security report making rounds on the web. We have taken time to carefully review the report and wanted
to make you aware of our findings. The report can be found here for
reference - http://secunia.com/advisories/31584/.
The reported exploits claim that input passed to the "id"
parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_content" and
"task" to "view", "category", or "blogsection") is not properly
sanitized before being used in SQL queries. The report is accurate and this problem is due to incorrect sanitization of the $id variable within the mod_socialbits.php file of the Socialbits module. We have corrected the issue and released a patch for 4.6.5 called "MiaCMS_v4.6.5_SecurityPatch_1". The patch file can be found on our main project downloads page (http://code.google.com/p/miacms/downloads/list).
It is strongly recommended that all users apply this update to their MiaCMS installation. There are upgrade instructions contained within the zip file. Thank you for your patience and understanding. |

MOStlyCE 3.1.0.1 Released |
|
Written by Chad Auld

|
MOStlyCE, version 3.1.0.1, was released this week. The biggest change for this release was an
upgrade of the TinyMCE core from 3.0.7 to the latest version available
3.1.0.1. This brings in lots of bug fixes and better support for Opera
9.50 and the Firefox 3.0 . Their full changelog can be found here.
There was also some general reworking of the compression feature in MOStlyCE. It
had not been functioning properly in recent versions of Opera and/or
with the new FireFox 3.0 release. Editor compression is important
because it reduces the overall size of the editor by up to 75% and
reduces the number of HTTP requests required to load the editor. As
always you can find the latest version on the projects SourceForge page. Upgrade instructions can be found here.
This is a reminder that this release is for MiaCMS only. The final release of MOStlyCE for Mambo was version 3.0.5. |

Mia is the new CMS on the block, but the team behind it has a great deal of experience building and working with Content Management Systems and open source technologies. We thought it was time to properly introduce the team and tell you a bit about each of the individuals involved. Anyway, on with the show... |
