vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Help in securing vB 3.0.xx for the CSRF vulnerability

Lynne · #6 05-06-2008, 01:46 PM

I have a heavily hacked board and it wasn't until last December that I finally upgraded to 3.6.8 from 3.0.12. I found that most of my hacks were very easy to translate to products/plugins. Of course, there were many that were released here, but I had several custom hacks that I wrote just for us and so I had to translate those all myself. I set up a test site and did it all on there. It took me a couple of months, but I feel it was time well spent to finally be using the hooks/plugins system.

In regards to this CSRF, I have heard that what needs to happen is someone posts an image/link on your site that one of your moderators then follows offsite which then grabs some information from you. Perhaps tell your mods not to click on any link unless they trust the person?
