Something such ridiculous I have seen only with vB.

Was it the case for the previous three weeks ?

Will it be the case for the next three weeks ? (I certainly hope not).

If an issue is found, its fixed and patched. Sorry you don't seem to like that.

The attachment issue is obscure at best, Its unlikely anyone would have noticed it unless they went hunting for attachment ids, but however small, it is still a potential issue, so was fixed.

Not even the free scripts have had this kind of issue with security.

I dont suppose they have the same kind of issue vB has with endless trolling either, lucky them.

Every major software vendor has security issues, how they react to them is important. When we find an issue or it gets reported to us we verify it and get it out the door ASAP.

All Major forum software has had issues, as long as humans are programing programings there will be issues. Sometimes its because of the language, sometimes its human error. But if you think other scripts are free from errors you're mistaken.

I'd far rather my software vendor was upfront about issues of this nature, rather than hiding, denying, saying nothing, until they have no choice (assuming they admit it at all).

There are many examples of the latter. the software I used prior to vBulletin was notorious for it. Defunct now, thankfully.

I completely agree that the majority of forum softwares have had security issues, except xenforo btw. As there has been none with it till now.

However, the thing is that none of them has had the security issues with the frequency of vb 5. One each week for the past 3 weeks. This is what I was talking about, and not why it has had security issues, but the alarming rate of them.

You either are not active in those communities, or you're wearing some rose tinted glasses.

vBulletin 3, (3.0.x) had a lot of early security issues
phpbb2/3 had a HUGE swath of security issues years back
IP has had their own security issues.
Even XF has had at least one security issue in a non beta release.

Things happen, how you react to them is what is important.

I won't argue that we should take better steps to enforce better security. I know the last thing anyone of the devs want with 5 is an issue they need to work on for security. We hate the issues just as much as you do.

Seems WordPress and Drupal are in on the security conspiracy with vB also.

They do like their conspiracies over there.

I must be missing your point... borbole said "until now", meaning they finally had one. Your two links point to the same issue, just fixed in two different versions. It's pretty minor anyway considering the fact that you have to be an admin in the first place to exploit them (or already be trusting 3rd party RSS feeds), unlike recent vB issues.

Do you have a vBulletin license? Or are intending to buy one?
If not, this site will not be of any use to you.
