vBSecurity v1.1.8 Patch Level 2

Bug Fixes:

• Turning the modification off via the "Enable Modification" vBOption meant you could no longer access the majority of vBSecurity admin controls
• Fixed an issue with the "login strikes" page that could produce a fatal error in certain scenarios

For some reason, real users/visitors get IP banned when using this mod even though there were no signs of brute force login from them. I have cases when visitors got IP banned by trying to login to accounts that don't even exist in my forum database.

What if they don't receive the email?

I have just upgraded to 1.2.1 and several users are reporting that they get locked out when updating their profile to "Enable IP Verification". As an Admin I also did not receive the verification email when accessing the adminCP for the first time after installation, but I was able to gain access with a quick query.

Is there a way to resend or view the email queue? Or authorize their IP through the adminCP?

1) So will this mod prevent prevent that?

----

2) Can this Mod notify mods/admins by posting in a specific forum section (via designated userID selected by the admin), when multiple accounts are being logged into by the same IP address?
3) Can this Mod notify mods/admins by posting in a specific forum section (via designated userID selected by the admin), when one account is being logged into by the multiple IP address?

4) Can this Mod notify mods/admins by posting in a specific forum section (via designated userID selected by the admin), when multiple accounts are being logged into on the same computer (cookies/cache detection)?
5) Can this Mod notify mods/admins by posting in a specific forum section (via designated userID selected by the admin), when one account is being logged into by the multiple computers (cookies/cache detection)?

Yes it does :)

None of these things are possible at this time, this is not a "multiple account detection" mod. This mod focuses on addressing behavioural patterns that are potentially harmful to the security of your forum, whereas multiple accounts is more related to circumventing bans.

All alerts go to the Webmaster Email account as well :)

Fillip

I think I found a bug or conflict in version 2.2.4 lite

If a user tries to reset their lost password, they get the email from VB and click the link. But when clicked, it gives either a blank white page or sometimes an error 500.

If I disable this script, everything works well again. I can reproduce this reliably by enabling or disabling version 2.2.4

My info:
VB 4.2.3 pl2
Server Litespeed
PHP 5.5.38
MySQL 10.0.25-MariaDB-cll-lve

If you need anything else to help fix it, let me know.

Thanks
Mike

You will need to check your error log for the real reason behind a 500 Internal Server Error.

Fillip

I have similar problem. User can't reset password. Error message was displayed after clik on reset link.

When I downgraded to 2.2.0 everything is ok.

I had to disable it didnt have time to debug this time, but will re install next version.

Sorry about that, I've updated the zip file with a fixed XML file :)

vBSecurity v3.3.0:
Feature: New option: Enable Account Breach Check
Feature: New option: Account Breach Check: Check Username

This mod has been updated to be brought in line with the XenForo version.

Fillip

I updated this today (overwriting the old install) without realizing that I needed PHP Ver 5.6. I have PHP 5.3.29. Can I get the latest version that works with 5.3.29 please?

Thanks.

I'm really impressed with some of the features in the new version of this modification. Thanks for all the good work.

I notice you included instructions for using bcrypt for passwords. Do those instructions re-encrypt the entire password database? This is a huge issue that I've been concerned about for some time. I also would like to ask the impact of forum upgrades - so if you deploy it in 4.2.5 and then upgrade to 4.2.6, do you need to make those changes again?

Any file modifications will need to be reapplied in the event of a forum upgrade. Running the BCrypt action in the AdminCP does add additional BCrypt hashing to passwords in the database, yes.


Fillip

The download package has been updated to address a minor security vulnerability that could allow an attacker to inject code for their own user only (not other users) when viewing their currently active login sessions.

This vulnerability cannot be used to exploit your forum, this is not a critical vulnerability.

Fillip

If I do a mass password reset for all of my users, will they get an email saying that their password was reset? If so, can I customize that email?

Thanks
