0.12.2 Released! Please READ!

Today it was brought to my attention that there is a serious security flaw in FCKeditor.  Without giving too many details, let's just say that it's a pretty bad one and could possibly comprimise your system.

Please upgrade to 0.12.2 as soon as possible!

There is a diff package available for quick upgrades.  Or if you really want to be quick, replace the file modules/FCKeditorX/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php with this one:
http://svn.cmsmadesimple.org/svn/cmsmad ... nector.php

I've also released 0.13beta4 to combat this problem as well.

If you are running an older version and are unsure if you want to upgrade, please contact me via the forum and I'll help you get your system patched.

Thanks so much for your patience and get the word out!

You can copy over the file as described above for the 0.12 version.  For 0.11.1, it would be safer to make the change by hand.

Open up the file above in a text editor.

Add:

Code: Select all

require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))))))))) . '/include.php');
check_login();
right after the first set of comments.

It'll look like this:

Code: Select all

require_once(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))))))))) . '/include.php');
check_login();

include('config.php') ;

I just copied the files of 12.2 over my old 11.x installation.

Now it says 13 beta-4 on my site. Is that intended?

Well, if you use the diff package, then no.  If you download the full thing and copy it over 0.12.1, then yes (or it'll say your site is down).

Umm.  No.  I hope I didn't package the file wrong.

No, I'm a total idiot.  I packaged up the trunk instead of the 0.12.2 that I made.  I was rushing around and it screwed me up.

The files are corrected.

Please look at your site, as it's now running 0.13beta4.  If it's giving you a problem, please contact me.  I'll help you revert back to 0.12.2 if necessary.  At least beta4 is pretty stable.  But it wasn't intended.

Sorry once again and thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Can I find more information on this security flaw? I would like to fix it for TinyMCE, which also uses the same filebrowser as plugin and is probably also affected.
