For any Coppermine gallery users,

cpg1.4.27 Security release - upgrade mandatory!

Why was cpg1.4.27 released?

"The release covers a recently discovered XSS vulnerability that allows (if unpatched) a malevolent visitor to include own script routines."

Just to add to this,

The new version of Coppermine 1.5.6 Stable has now been released.

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,65278.0.html

What will happen to 1.4.x?

"With all the new features of 1.5.x the development team have decided that only security fixes will be applied to 1.4.x in the short term. However, there will come a time when 1.4.x will be laid to rest. While we have yet to decide on a firm date for this to happen expect support to be withdrawn in around 6 months. With all the new features that 1.5.x brings we firmly believe most users to want to upgrade long before then."

Support for 1.4.x to cease soon.

When?

"1st December 2010 is the sad date. From then on we will close all the 1.4.x support forums to new threads."

What do we do as website owners?

"That is your choice. Coppermine 1.4.x will not stop working after that date. Having said that, should you run into any problems you will unfortunately be on your own. Additionally, there will be no security updates available so you run the risk if new exploits are discovered."

Hmmm, a shame that the new version won't be backward compatible. :P

Jim.  Backward compatible with what?  ???

I think I probably misread the announcement.  I was thinking that they were saying that the new version wouldn't work with the old code.  I was probably in a fog the day I wrote that so you should probably just ignore my post. ;)

All fixes are not security critical, so if your gallery is running fine with cpg1.5.12 you don't need to upgrade.

The Coppermine development team is releasing a security update for Coppermine in order to counter a recently discovered vulnerability. It is important that all users who run version cpg1.5.16 or older update to this latest version as soon as possible.

How to update:
Users running versions prior to 1.5.18 should update immediately by downloading the latest version from the download page and following the upgrade steps in the documentation.

Support:
If you have problems with this update, please use the Update support board. Do not post your issues to this announcement thread - your post will be deleted without notice.

  • Use selected album thumbnail for 'lastup' meta album (thread)
  • Create user album in personal gallery when user is created via the user manager (thread)
  • Added captcha for ecards feature (thread)
  • Fixed a potential path disclosure vulnerability in core plugin configuration files
  • Updated date/time formats in English (British) language file (thread)
  • Updated header information to reflect new year
