v4.0.1 Released - Security Update

posted by Egg @ 11:03am, Friday 28 March 2008.

An update has been released and is now available to download for eggBlog.

There is a possible cookie based SQL injection threat that has been removed in this update, as has the requirement for FreeType support.

When updating from pre-v4.0rc3, you will need to manually update your /config.php file to the new language file (from en-uk to en_gb). Then edit your config file through the administration area and save - this will create the neccessary new "tag flag" and "MySQL Database" setting.

Major updates include:

  • possible cookie based SQL injection threat
  • FreeType (TTF) based captcha replaced with GDF support
