Affected Versions

All versions of the Order Manager plugin are affected.

Description

This update addresses one security concern:

  1. An XSS flaw that affects the order system under certain circumstances.

Resolution

If running 4.10.0, apply the patch for 4.10.1. If running a version earlier than 4.10.0, upgrade to the full 4.10.1 release. See below for mitigation for older supported releases.

Mitigation

It is best to upgrade to 4.10.1, however, if you are running a supported version of Blesta (version 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, or 4.9) you may overwrite the following files from the 4.10.1 patch:

  • /blesta/plugins/order/views/templates/ajax/config.pdt
  • /blesta/plugins/order/views/templates/standard/config.pdt
  • /blesta/plugins/order/views/templates/wizard/config.pdt
