Hey guys,
sorry but I do NOT agree with the last 2 postings. VB.org moderators have to warn their members about any possible impact. If this hack has serious problems then I would deinstall it by removing the journal.php file in the first instance.
I have the hack installed as well and the first thing I did was to remove the file.
In addition Kirby is not responsible to provide any fix for this hack. He is just informing you guys. So do not blame him for informing you because next time he will just sit back and relax to see you struggling with your hacked board. I agree with Kirby that if the author does not react on any message he should inform the people by posting into the appropriate thread and not send a PM. Because a PM will not have the same effect like his posting.
If I would be the hack author I would react on the posting rather then on a PM to all users.
Summary: Contact the author to create the pressure to fix the security issue(s) and THANK Kirby for informing us.
Cheers,
|
