I am, however, working on a v2 version with a much more cleaned up coding engine, as well as a crapload of new features, items for purchase in the vbPlaza.

But as far as a release goes, I'm not sure, I've started it a little at a the www.vbplaza.com URL, but I'm not sure the url is public as of yet either, due to it still having a bit that needs completing. (I'd say its about 75% finished currently.)

I hope to try and finish it up soon, but I honestly cant give an accurate ETA as of yet. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I can also assure u, it will be worth the wait.

ALSO: I've been away for a while and noticed a ton of posts about the v1.5.8. I do not have time to reply to every single post, and with the amount of rewrite that has occurred in the v2 version I am currently working on, it would be even more time involving to check on every problem as the problem may not exist anymore in the v2 version I'm writing. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I for one fully appreciate the pressure and stresses of real life outside of this stuff that you and probably many others, including myself go through all to often and I appreciate the time you've given up to create vbplaza and everything you have done to date and know you will continue to improve it again once time becomes available to you.

However, in the mean time, myself and probably every single other person who has the vbplaza hack instally would seriously appreciate you even more, if you would be willing to sacrifice a little time to find out exactly what the current exploits with vbplaza are and releasing a fix for them as quickly as you possibly can, so that we may continue to use this superb hack without fear of our sites being exploitable. I would personally even go so far as to make a generous donation to you via paypal for such a service, as vbplaza has become an essential part of my website.

go to your vbplaza folder, find occurrences of the following:
includes/function_vbplaza.php
find around line 152(depending on the version you have)

PHP Code:

$message strip_tags($message); 

make that
PHP Code:

$message htmlspecialchars($message); 

go to
vbplaza/action.admindonate.php (line 133)
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = strip_tags($action['reason']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = htmlspecialchars($action['reason']); 


goto
vbplaza/action.changeotherusertitle.php (line 136)
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped strip_tags($newusertitle); 

make that
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped htmlspecialchars($newusertitle); 


goto
vbplaza/action.changeusertitle.php (line 87)
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped strip_tags($newusertitle); 

make that
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped htmlspecialchars($newusertitle); 


goto
vbplaza/action.donate.php (line 164)
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = strip_tags($action['reason']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = htmlspecialchars($action['reason']); 




goto
vbplaza/action.gift.php (line 209)
PHP Code:

$action['giftmessage'] = strip_tags($action['giftmessage']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['giftmessage'] = htmlspecialchars($action['giftmessage']); 


goto
vbplaza/action.ribbons.php (line 218)
PHP Code:

$action['ribbonmessage'] = strip_tags($action['ribbonmessage']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['ribbonmessage'] = htmlspecialchars($action['ribbonmessage']); 


Just changes the the php function with vb's own cleaning class.

includes/function_vbplaza.php(line 152)

PHP Code:

$message strip_tags($message); 

make that
PHP Code:

$message $vbulletin->input->clean($messageTYPE_NOHTML); 

go to
vbplaza/action.admindonate.php (line 133)
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = strip_tags($action['reason']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = $vbulletin->input->clean($action['reason'], TYPE_NOHTML); 


goto
vbplaza/action.changeotherusertitle.php (line 136)
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped strip_tags($newusertitle); 

make that
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped $vbulletin->input->clean($newusertitleTYPE_NOHTML); 


goto
vbplaza/action.changeusertitle.php (line 87)
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped strip_tags($newusertitle); 

make that
PHP Code:

$newusertitle_stripped $vbulletin->input->clean($newusertitleTYPE_NOHTML); 


goto
vbplaza/action.donate.php (line 164)
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = strip_tags($action['reason']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['reason'] = $vbulletin->input->clean($action['reason'], TYPE_NOHTML); 




goto
vbplaza/action.gift.php (line 209)
PHP Code:

$action['giftmessage'] = strip_tags($action['giftmessage']); 

make that
PHP Code:

$action['giftmessage'] = $vbulletin->input->clean($action['giftmessage'], TYPE_NOHTML); 


goto
vbplaza/action.ribbons.php (line 218)
PHP Code:

$action['ribbonmessage'] = strip_tags($action['ribbonmessage']);

PHP Code:

$action['ribbonmessage'] = $vbulletin->input->clean($action['ribbonmessage'], TYPE_NOHTML);

Addiction is a terrible thing.

X-Files 02-08-2007 06:32 PM

Is this what we need to patch this? Can someone provide a definitive answer? I think this version at least needs a fix applied since we have no idea when v2 will be out.

Yes, there was a security problem so the hack has been removed.

Shazz 02-08-2007 08:30 PM

Could have just closed the thread.
Now many people are going to be confused where to get the store

kjhkjh 02-09-2007 03:47 AM

Err... I want this hack, never installed it before, have seen the security threat mentioned, seems to be a fix a few posts above me... but does anyone know if a new version is coming out or if there is somewhere that I can download the current version from and fix it?

Thx

sinpeople 02-09-2007 01:39 PM

Never experienced this before. Anyone can tell typically how long such issue can be closed?

If it takes more than one month, maybe consider other point system is a not bad choice.
Thanks.

Another point system? lol uh there alot of people on here that have been using the hack for months that would screw everything up and as far as i can see for 3.6.4 there is only icash and its very simple mod its good but not the best alternative compared to vbbux

Aclikyano 02-09-2007 06:04 PM

This hack has an EXPLOIT IN IT !.
a few sites as I recall somewere on this board were HACKED thru the donation feature!.
it has been removed until the ex is fixed.

Yes, there should be a announment in the vBplaza forum about it..

actually, close the thread and we have no clue, but remove the file and no one else will be infected and we know whats going on.


just my 2 cents on that

i hope a fix is found soon, altho I don't use this hack, I know many ppl that do.

Closing thread removing file, posting one final post on the exploit would answer many questions and wouldn't confuse anyone who is looking for it..

my 2 cents :D

fly 02-09-2007 09:35 PM

Closing thread, posting code to exploit hack, eating cookies, kick a dead horse..

I think that should be the order

my 2 cents

Ski-Whiz 02-10-2007 09:02 PM

I think they (staff here), should at least provide some feedback to the members which have it installed..

We don't have any clue whether it was only the donation part in which it was exploited. We are guessing at the fix. Now I know CMX knows, but to just uninstall the mod/hack is not an option for most.

Now I have disabled it, but how long do we have to wait before they release the exploit? I mean if CMX is busy, then at least let some coders know, so they can give temp advice etc..

Just my $.02.....

Below was said in another thread. Even though they do not mention how the exploits work, it does mention other exploits involved. I agree in part with them not sharing the in-depth information as then coders might even take advantage of the exploit themselves, although some people have mentioned what the main exploit is.

This is part of the email people got who clicked install for this hack.

Quote:

Official Security Exploit Warning:

The staff has been notified of a potential XSS vulnerability in the vbBux / vbPlaza modification. We have confirmed the exploit along with additional exploits in varying degrees. This notification is to serve as an official warning - it is HIGHLY recommended that you disable/uninstall the modification until a fix is provided.

Hope that helps a bit.

You sure are asking a lot for the price. Maybe you should pay with your hard earned time to fix it for us

hitboy 02-11-2007 12:21 PM

I dont think the staff should fix it nor say anything but they should at least tell the orginal coder of this new exploits so it can be fixed lol just my 2 cents

i gez staff inform the author.
So far i can remember ecDownlods by R0n1n also had exploit problem.By this time R0n1n got inactive.The co-author Westpointer(dont know he changed his nick to something) pick that up and release a new ver. with new name.

with that ref. i think CMX got information. only staff can confirm weather they inform or not.


but qus is that how long it will take to get the fix....

How bout we all cool it and give the author time to work this out...I'm sure we all got what we paid for....so "are we there yet" isn't spurring faster work so much as annoyance....

msorin 02-12-2007 02:41 PM

Can anyone tell me why I can't access https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=106953 ??? I get a message that says that I do not have permission to access this page.

Thank you

Shazz 02-12-2007 02:42 PM

Because they have removed the vBPlaza to a closed part of the site

rjp0615 02-12-2007 05:04 PM

perhaps for the simple ppl, maybe someone can reup vbplaza with the code modification?

No one is even 100% sure what the exploit is, so that's not possible.

Actually a couple people do or more, They don't want to speak out of it though due to security purpases

Well then it stands to reason they don't want us to know how to fix it then either, correct?

CMX or someone else in future time will have the fix or the whole vBplaza up-reloaded don't know the exact details
