Sending of Hacks to the Graveyard

[Clayton]

@ MicroHellas

this would be sad, as your hacks have truly been refreshing

is there no way that this matter can be sorted out in a manner that benefits all, please?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

We did follow those Guidelines. The fact that #2 and #3 are done simultaniously does not change anything. And yes it might be that the Update email to the members is sent a few minutes before the PM to the author. I can not see that as not following the guidelines, but merely a practical implementation of it.

Staff may provide a solution themself, but that is not the standard procedure.

If you don't want your modifications to be released here anymore, then you can either simply not provide a solution for the users of your modification or report your thread with the request to remove it.

PS If you really want to go that way, then please remember that it is not our staff who will suffer from this.

I'm totally sure for it. Only people with sensitive feelings can suffer for situation like this. Because they can count lot of parametters and not only Guidelines. In any case the real problem is that I just realized that is already 1pm here, I'm blocked with this situation (at all) since 7am, and finally I'll have problems with my real job.

And yes, I want all my mods to be removed. I prefer "Member" than "Coder". Maye in the future I'll start publishing mods like how to move this title under the form, or how to place it on the right and I'll become coder again.

Greetings
Maria

hi,

at first, be nice

ok, there is a vulnerability in the mod.
ok, there is no reason to giving out the details of the exploit
ok, there will be a fix, or not

But please dont let the Users tapping in the dark. A little more information would be nice.

And there is no reason to get rude

@microhellas

are there any vulnerabilities in your Mods, please?

is this a situation for users to be concerned, please?

there may be a vulnerability in one script from Mary, but she decided to have them all dropped from the distributions... her own decision... she now support on her own site...

As I don't know where to place my post, I'm placing it here asking the understanding of Moderator. So, at least for my mods, the sucurity issues were than in 1-2 instances I run SQL queries by not placing the quotes. Also I found 1 instance that I've forgotten to add addshalshes in a $POST.

As I don't plan to continue distirbuting the free version I'll attach the corrected file in a new post here tomorrow morning. If it's not permitted, then sorry, you must visit my site to get this patch.

Thank you

The answer is clear people, vb will eventually charge us for these hacks. I bet you it is because they want a share of the pie. Unfair practice by the bigman as always. The posted hacks are optional to users. Why else would they removed them ? As good as VB is, it is nothing without these free hacks. I guess I better start looking for another alternative...VB should create their own hacks to replace the ones that they feel that are harmful...these hacks make your product better.....

free the hacks VB....

@odonel, you really are out of the track here...

alert of security risks is different from controling the content of the releases... you are trying to start a new polemic, and this is not good from a new by..

1./ vBulletin will NEVER charge anything for access to these hacks (except for the initial license fee), vBulletin CAN never charge anything. All hacks are property of their owners and they are protected under law.

2./ We only remove hacks when it contains vulnerabilities. We don't remove them for the hell of it. I'd rather have no hacks than a board defaced by hackers. And yes, we verify all vulnerabilities before removing hacks; furthermore, all accounts of reported vulnerabilities are kept.
