cpg1.5.36 Security release - upgrade mandatory!
« on: May 07, 2015, 12:12:44 pm »

The Coppermine development team is releasing a security update for Coppermine in order to counter a recently discovered vulnerability. It is important that all users who run version cpg1.5.34 or older update to this latest version as soon as possible.

How to update:
Users running versions prior to 1.5.36 should update immediately by downloading the latest version from the download page and following the upgrade steps in the documentation.

Support:
If you have problems with this update, please use the Update support board. Do not post your issues to this announcement thread - your post will be deleted without notice.

Why was cpg1.5.36 released?
The release covers a recently discovered XSS vulnerability that allows (if unpatched) a malevolent visitor to include own script routines under certain conditions. Furthermore, an open redirect issue and a directory enumeration issue have been fixed.

Additionally, cpg1.5.36 includes fixes for the following non-security related issues:
  • Strip whitespace from imported IPTC title and caption (thread)
  • Fixed icon when deleting picture from an album (thread)
  • Made phpBB 3 bridge compatible with phpBB version 3.1.x (thread)
  • Updated Italian language file (thread)
  • Fixed database error for non-existing files (thread)
  • Fixed typo in French docs (thread)
Thanks to Mahendra for discovering the vulnerability.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
