I don't understand ! I've posted 2 messages (on "Feedback" and on the "French" category) about a serious security hole.
I've received a message by mail :

Sorry, but I moved them because the public boards aren't the best place for this kind of thing!

QuoteI've received a message by mail

That'll be because I added an explanatory note to them.

QuoteBut this url tell me that I'm not allowed to visit it !!!

And that'll be because they're now in an admin area.

No, just moved to a better place.

Please contact the team direct rather than posting to the forum if you believe there to be security holes in the product.

If you would like to know why the team didn't patch this vulnerability earlier, please see the following discussion:

http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?thread=27139

If no one knows about it, it's detrimental to release a fix.

It is always detrimental for this website to describe, even in a post, how to hack an older version of YaBB SE.  Continue posting exploits for any holes in any versions of any software, and I will ban you.

Peter Duggan :

Ok thanks for all :)
About contacting team... that's what I've tried to do before posting here, but like I said, I didn't see any link "contact" or anything like that.
Thanks again for your answer :)

About what vulnerability do you speak when you say "THIS vulnerability" ?

Quoteplease see the following discussion:

I've see the discussion I don't disagree with everything.
But if "it's detrimental to release a fix", do you imagine if you never release any fix ?? Would it be better ?

I didn't post any vulnerability on this board, I've said that I would like to contact the team to speak about a vulnerability that I've just discovered.



QuoteContinue posting exploits for any holes in any versions of any software, and I will ban you.

I'm here to help you and you want to ban me ?
You know I don't care : this hole is YOUR problem (and the problem of your "customers"), if you don't want my help, you don't need to ban me, I can go out of this board alone.
Are you really open source ?


Sorry for my poor english.
bye
