All I will say is its to do with the donate feature and a script.

I got the same Email, so I checked back here to be sure it was for real . . this has been a very popular hack, and I wanted to be sure before taking it off.

Despite the annoyance of having to do that, I'd like to say a BIG thank you for the heads-up, and my appreciation to vB for acting on the info so fast.

I can't see the thread either, so it's obviously been removed for good reason - but I would have clicked it uninstalled ;) . . at least till something can (hopefully) be done to address the exploits.

Good info, sad loss.

Your post was strong enough to scare away over 50 users of vbplaza now :o

Meh, you asked. ;D

Thanks for the save :) we all appreciate it!

What can happen if someone decides to keep this MOD active on their boards?

Well its not like every board with vBplaza will just die
Unless the exploit was posted on some site which gave more people that oppertunity to do it on more sites -.-

I only got 50 members, and now there's nothing to bribe 'em in with - gonna have to seriously update my content now . . . lmao!

Seriously though, if there was no risk, I'm sure that would be clarified - instead the entire hack has been removed and vB have taken the trouble to mail-out to all the installers . . no smoke without fire imo - it ain't fear it's logic.

I'd sure like to see it fixed though - good luck to the guys working on it.

Well, you could end up with a whole bunch of Admins . . or worse ;)

Is there someone in fact working on a fix?

If we disable just the donate function, will this allow the rest of the hack to be active and safe?
