There are a number of security advisory reports online about pyforum, some from reputable sources.
They report two vulnerabilities: 1) What they refer to as a backdoor but they describe as a different problem: an attacker can force pyforum to email a new password to the administrator (not to the attacker himself). If true this is not a major problem but it may be annoying for the administrator. 2) There is a XSS vulnerability. If true, is major security issue but it would be trivial to fix using XML(...,sanitize=True). I have not looked at the source code. Somebody should look into this and fix it or respond to the security advisory. Massimo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
