PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

Anyone figured out yet what the change/fix is? I have modified my version of ibPA and would like to just apply the fix manually.... unless it includes a major remodeling of everything.

[ForceHSS]

just upload all the files and dont worry about where the fix is no one is going to tell you

[ForceHSS]

I would like to find a fix for my problem above I have this on my test forum but before I go live I need to know how to get it working

[kh99]

I have no more information than anyone else. I figured out what the issue was by looking at the release and comparing with the old files, but since the moderators and admins declined to post the info, I don't think I should either. But the files in the download zip file have dates on them and the mod was only quarantined a couple days ago, so there's nothing stopping someone from extracting the files into a directory and searching for the ones that were changed recently...

easy to say when you haven't spent hours and hours and hours customizing your ibProArcade install! Anyway - hopefully someone will share the fix as I and others have asked:

Thanks so much for the fix MrZeroPage.
I've a question please. The release history .txt says "one security-issue fixed"
Can you tell us how many and/or which files were changed to fix the security issue?
Perhaps instead of uploading/overwriting all files & reinstalling the product, we may be able to overwrite (patch) only the file that presented the security issue.

Thanks,

J.

I took me about 3 minutes to compare all the files, probably as long...if not less time than as some of you have waited in this thread for answers. You call yourself admins...and some even claim to offer professional support - do yourself a favour and download a compare program (you'll need it to compare and make the edits to the files below if you would rather not just overwrite the files).

Between versions 2.7.0+ and 2.7.1+ the following files have changed (code changes as opposed to just something like 2.7.0+ becoming 2.7.1+ in the file)

arcade.php
admincp/arcade.php
functions/functions.php
modules/mod_favorites.php
modules/mod_league.php
modules/mod_report.php
modules/mod_settings.php
skins/skin_arcade.php
skins/skin_v3arcade.php

And the product file (obviously).

Some changes are only 1 line

That took about 3 minutes to find out and I even sent a text message inbetween comparing.

Go figure

Thanks for the speedy update MrZeropage.

The coder makes it very clear, IF YOU READ THE TOP OF ALL THREAD PAGES (enjoy the vulnerability, as now that it is brought to light, it was not real hard to find it, and exploitation is now much more likely on lower versions):

Let's think about this for a second... how many sites do you suppose are still running 2.7.0? From the install count and download count I would dare say QUITE a few do you all agree?

If you agree then why would we post the exact issue, allowing some script-kiddies just enough info to do harm to those sites still running 2.7.0? I love you guys (and gals Jacquii ) however you can't always assume info is not disclosed because we simply don't want to tell you, that's silly tbo .

Yes I found most of these....

Though I confess, using Beyond Compare on a clean 2.7.1 versus a clean 2.7.0, it didn't find any differences in functions/functions.php

Many of the changes are just to do with branding free licences however.

I can't go into any any more detail than that.....as Gemma says, a good admin should be able to pull out the required changes and patch up nicely in no time.

That's what I've done due to heavy customisation, however that's a temporary measure and I'll be running the full upgrade in a week or two when I get the time to re-apply everything.
