As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
This tracks the number of members that have visited the forum each day, and displays a list in the same manner as the Members Who Have Visited Today display. However, this also tracks a lot more data, such as the script (and request variables) run on their last visit, and all threads and forums visited.
Options / Features
* The script that the member is running is logged (e.g. showthread, usercp etc).
* The request variables in use are logged (e.g. threadid, userid etc).
* The member visits table can be cleaned of old records to help control it's size.
* Member Views data collection - tracking each members viewing of the forum index page, forums and threads.
* Member Views data collection can be separately disabled.
* Multiple member visits to the same page are logged separately.
* Clicking on the main display icon will list the recent visits by all members (if allowed).
* Clicking on a member in the main display will show that members viewing data (if enabled, and you have permission).
* Clicking on the "Total members that have visited" line will list all members who have visited and their last action.
* Usergroup permissions are done with the standard vbulleten usergroup permissions system.
Four new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.
* Can View the Members Visited Display - Members can view the members visited display on Forumhome.
* Can View Member IP Addresses - Members can see the ip addresses of visiting members.
* Can View Member Visits List - Members can view the list of member visits page.
* Can View Member Tracking Data - Members can view the individual member visit tracking page.
* All (non usergroup) modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Member Tracking.
To install;
Unzip the XML files.
Upload the bitfields file to your ../includes/xml folder.
Import the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.
Set your required permissions in the usergroup manager.
Note that by default no permissions are given, you must set them.
Note: You must enable the [core] Visiting Members display, this mod hooks into that display, it does not duplicate the display for itself.

Sorry for the delay, here's the explanation you requested. Your product used to not display any posts that were read by the user if the one who was looking at the product's page did not have access to see the title of those posts.
Let me clarify it a bit more with an example:
Let's say User1 is and administrator and User2 is a user. Cat 1 is the general category Forum 1 is the admin's forum (read/write/etc only by admins) and Forum 2 is the general forum (read/write/etc by all). In 4.1.x versions of the plugin, User2 could not see what User1 had seen in Forum 1. In 4.2, User2 can see what User1 has seen in Forum 1.

You are correct in saying that User2 would be able to see what forum and/or thread User1 had visited, in forums they cannot see. However, Im puzzled by you stating thats changed. There has never been any permission check on that.

The permission check is usually done by the software (in this case, vBulletin). At least, in my case, in the 4.1.x versions of vB, it didn't allow User2 to see what User1 has written in forums and threads User2 didn't have access to.
This will list them (i.e. the title) to user2, that is not a permission check vB performs, that would be code needed in this mod.
If User2 clicks on the title to view the actual forum or thread, they will get a no permission error, that comes from vbulletin. If you dont get that then your permissions are wrong.
