The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of 
1.3.18[1] and 2.4.8[2]. These releases contain security fixes and are 
recommended for all CakePHP developers using SecurityComponent. A short 
list of changes you can expect in 2.4.8 are:

* SQLServer now properly appends the schema name when describing tables.
* Hash::extract() can now match boolean attributes.
* fclose() errors when using shells should no longer happen.
* CakeResponse::file() now throws an exception when paths contain '..'.
* ShellDispatcher now casts argv to an array. This fixes issues when cake 
console was invoked from a non-cli SAPI.
* TextHelper::autoLink() now correctly links urls with subdomains 
containing '\_'.
* SecurityComponent form tampering hashes now include the URL including the 
query string as a hash input.

A short list of changes you can expect in 1.3.18 are:

* Model conditions containing `:` or `?` are now handled correctly. This 
fixes issues around using casting in conditions
* SecurityComponent form tampering hashes now include the URL path as a 
hash input.

As previously mentioned, a security issue related to the SecurityComponent 
was fixed. These releases are recommended upgrades for anyone using 
SecurityComponent. Prior to these relases, forms secured by 
SecurityComponent could be submitted to any action without triggering 
SecurityComponent's tampering protection. If an application contains 
multiple POST forms to manipulate the same models, it could be vulnerable 
to mass assignment issues. Thanks to Kurita Takashi for notifying the 
CakePHP team of this issue, and suggesting a fix.

A huge thanks to all involved in terms of both contributions through 
commits, tickets, documentation edits, and those whom have otherwise 
contributed to the framework. Without you there would be no CakePHP.
