Default vBulletin 3.0.7 released

It is directed primarily as a security fix that apparently is caused by enabling debug comments in templates (something production sites should not do anyway). However, it also fixes a slew of other bugs, so as usual, you should always stay up to date.

Hmm, I'll have a look at it.

I'm just hoping it doesn't make any major changes to the files I use for my hack, as it's almost finished now ~~.

EDIT:
Yes, why not create an almost entirely new attachment.php, when that's one of the most time taking parts of my hack, and I was almost done with it -.-

The exploit code says 3.0.5 and up are immune. Is that not right?

No. Only 3.0.7 is immune but only if you have template name in HTML enabled in your Admin CP, which is off by default and which most sites won't have.

It wouldn't be sensible to mention how it can be exploited in public. So before anyone tries ...

While that may be partly true - people may pay more attention if the problem is actually known rather than some vague "there is an issue". I must admit that I'm struggling to understand how adding comments poses a security risk, I'm sure many others are as well, and people tend to ignore and dismiss something they can't see or understand.

I understand that, but if we posted up how it can be exploted in public, then you'd have people going around exploiting people's sites. And there are LOTS of people who don't upgrade and apply patches
