Why was cpg1.5.18 released?
The release covers a path disclosure vulnerability. If unpatched, it's possible to generate an error that will reveal the full path of the script. A remote user can determine the full path to the web root directory and other potentially sensitive information.

Additionally, cpg1.5.18 includes fixes for the following non-security related issues:

* Added plugin hook 'upload_file_name'
* Add default values on 'onlinestats' installation to avoid weird dates right after plugin installation (thread)
* Updated Arabic language file (user contribution)
* Fixed simple upload process when users can just upload to their personal gallery (thread)
* Added upload button after each album name in album manager
* Added anchors on plugin manager
* Fixed infinite loop for delayed cookie issue workaround (thread)
* Disallow dots in cookie name (thread)
* Fixed issue with very big 'Max size for uploaded files' values (thread)
* Fixed album thumbnails for public albums in 'My gallery' view for regular users
* Fixed clickable keywords with spaces (thread)
* Fixed critical error for 'lasthits' meta album (thread)
* Fixed misleading error message when uploading files that exceed the file size limit with the simple upload form (thread)
* Added hidden feature "Create sub-directory named according to the album ID in users' upload directories during HTTP upload"
* Use selected album thumbnail for 'lastup' meta album (thread)
* Create user album in personal gallery when user is created via the user manager (thread)
* Added captcha for ecards feature (thread)
* Fixed a potential path disclosure vulnerability in core plugin configuration files
* Updated date/time formats in English (British) language file (thread)
* Updated header information to reflect new year
