mosDirectory v2.5.0 Released - A Security Upgrade!
The Bad News:
It has come to our attention overnight that an exploit for earlier versions of mosDirectory has been published on the internet. We have tested this exploit and can confirm that all versions of mosDirectory are affected.
We have personally emailed all customers who have purchased mosDirectory over the last three years.
The Good News:
We have worked hard this morning to secure mosDirectory from this exploit and we have just uploaded and released mosDirectory v2.5.0 which fixes all known problems.
YOU MUST UPGRADE TO mosDirectory v2.5.0 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - to avoid your site being compromised.
The code of mosDirectory was written several years ago (Three in fact) and since then our experience and security levels have increased significantly in this area. The reported exploit is in code that was written three years ago and has never been identified as a problem before today.
We trust the quickness of our release of mosDirectory v2.5.0 after the confirmation of the exploit assures you of our dedication to your sites security! (Lets see Microsoft patch files within 4 hours of a bug report
)
You can download the latest version from https://secure.myjoomla.com
To upgrade, just uninstall the component, and reinstall the new one, no data is lost in the process.
