Download the vBulletin Mobile app to check out the latest changes before updating your own apps (will be released shortly).

Please Note: vBulletin Mobile Suite customers are not yet able to publish vBulletin Mobile Suite 1.3 iOS or Android mobile apps for their forums. vBulletin Mobile Suite 1.3 will be released to customers later this week or the beginning of next week.

Note about our iOS Application:
We have switched the Apple developer account that our application is published under! This means that if you have any previous version installed, you will not receive a notice that there is an update. The iTunes store treats version 1.3 as if it were a new app. All updates moving forward from 1.3 will be recognized as standard updates, but unfortunately Apple does not have a proper mechanism of transferring applications from one developer account to another, the only option is to delete the app from one account, and then add it anew to another account. This will not affect any customer's iOS applications and they will continue to be able to be updated as normal.

A vulnerability has been found in PHP installations accessed via CGI where an attacker can gain access to command line parameters of PHP and access the server through this vulnerability. This can allow them to manipulate websites outside the standard operating procedure. According to the report, servers set up to use FastCGI are not vulnerable. FastCGI is the recommended method of installing PHP today. However a lot of servers continue to use the CGI method of calling PHP.

To see if your server uses CGI or FastCGI, look at your PHP Info (Maintenance -> View PHP Info) in your Admin Control Panel. The first table should have an entry for Server API. This should say "CGI/FASTCGI". If it only says "CGI" then you should contact your host so they can update the server to use FastCGI.

PHP has released PHP 5.3.12 and 5.4.2 to try and counteract this issue but experts say it isn't adequate.

Although no exploits have been reported, we urge our customers to upgrade as soon as possible.

The changes do not affect vBulletin 4.0.0 - 4.1.1.

This patch has been issued for vBulletin 4.1.12. A separate set of patches have been issued for vBulletin 4.1.2 - 4.1.11.

The MAPI security improvements have been added for vBulletin 3.x with the release of 3.x MAPI 1.4.3.

To improve the security of your vBulletin 4 installation, please download the patch from the members area of vBulletin: http://members.vbulletin.com/

In addition to the security improvements, we've resolved the following 4.1.12 issues.

VBIV-14681 - HTML is stripped from article previews

The upgrade process is slightly more complicated for this patch level release.

Unzip the patch to your vBulletin 4 install directory. (Ex. /var/www/html/myforum)

Download the "API-Log-Clean.xml" attached to this thread. (Included in the do_not_upload folder for full installs.)

Delete "API-Log-Clean" using the "Product Manager" option in the "Plugins & Products" section of your Admin CP. (Optional. The product is automatically disabled after the script runs.)
