July 25, 200718 yr This one probably won't go down too well... I was informed today via an email originating from the vbulletin.org staff that there is a security hole in the pager add-on. As might be expected, no details have been publicly released since doing so would drastically increase the risk of sites being attacked. I'll have a look through the code later on tonight to see if I can spot anything semi-obvious. If the problem isn't an obvious one, we might have to wait until the author updates the product. Sorry!
July 25, 200718 yr Haha, my computer is slow and when I first viewed your post, I laughed loudly enough to catch my mom's attention 'cause this is all I saw -> Ooooh....security threat at YC. Current threat level: ...
July 26, 200718 yr Doesn't really bother me, seeing as I hardly used it, and the only person sending me pager messages with any regularity was javileru, waxing not-as-poetic-as-he-thinks-he-is...
July 26, 200718 yr I saw that thread on vbulletin.org this morning when I was getting some mods for an anime forum I am an admin of...how sad...hahaha....I do hope it works, I was going to get that add-on. Well, I also use it here a lot. Mike...Lets contact the staff to hurry them...I will send princeton (admin) and all the others a PM.
July 26, 200718 yr Author As far as I'm aware, it is not the responsibility of the vbulletin.org staff to fix mods which are broken, insecure or otherwise, rather the add-on author's responsibility. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to have visited the site in over a year, so I suppose I'll work at resolving the problem myself as far as is possible.
