Security issues/vulnaribilities in 1.1 R4

gthibodeaux · Post by **gthibodeaux** » Thu 16. Feb 2006, 01:12

We have several clients who we've installed version 1.1 R4 (over a year ago) and are trying to assess whether or not these sites are exposed to any security risks.

Are there any known issues that we should be aware of?? Should we encourage these clients to upgrade for security reasons??

Greg,

You really should update the installations. As I remember, you just have to replace a few files. Here's the place to get them - http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=52772#52772

Hey Ben!

Thanks for the response, I pretty much figured that but I really want to have any security related justifications in my arsenal of reasoning when I approach my clients with the proposal to upgrade.

Do you have any specific knowledge of what kinds of issues there are with these older systems??

Just as a note, I did read the postings on that post, am I to assume that those are the only security holes? (and that they actually affect version 1.1 R4)
