Filemanager postlet still considered risky?

Post by faglork »

Hi,

around 1.2.5, the upload postlet was AFAIR considered a security risk and we were advised to delete the whole folder.

In 1.4 the folder is still in the default installation.

Did I miss anything? Is the postlet now considered  secure?

If not, why does CMSMS still ship with it?

Cheers,
Alex

Postlet is still shipped but it is empty (dummy files). This is due to upgrade: empty postlet files overwrite old "risky" versions.

Thanks for clarification!

It would be nice if a corresponding note were included in the release notes.

Cheers,
