i have had to disable this plugin as well , is there an alternative that allows for messages to be sent without the need of java based apps or refreshing. Vbpager was good because of its ajax features and I'm looking for a replacement.

I was really hoping someone would have fixed this by now.. Unfortunately no one can help fix it not knowing the exploit yet it is very understandable to not release info about the exploit.. Is anyone on staff working on this or is it a lost cause?

Are any of the other "pager" systems in the same bracket - i.e. open to vulnerability ?

Not to my knowledge, no.

my site got destroyed this week... totally gutted... is it possible this happened because i was running the pager?

Yes, it is possible. I am sorry to hear about your board but we did advise everyone to uninstall it. It was left up to you if you were to do it.

i am not a regular of these boards sad as it is.

let me ask this... if i create a user group of only select individuals who are allowed to use the pager will i be protected?

Without going through the code we really couldn't say, there are multiple security holes in it. The only advice it not to use it.



No one on the staff is working on it, nor are they likely to.

well then does anyone know of the mod closest to this one?
