Affected Versions

Versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.8, and 3.1.0 are affected.

Description

Active and valid staff members may be able to gain additional permissions through crafted URLs. Because this issue requires that the user have an active and valid staff member account, this is classified as a Moderate vulnerability. Patch release 3.0.9 and 3.1.1 corrects this vulnerability.

Resolution

If you are running 3.0.x upgrade to version 3.0.9. If you are running 3.1.0 upgrade to version 3.1.1.

New for Developers in 3.1

January 15, 2014 | Posted by Cody


Blesta 3.1 is loaded with great new features, but we didn’t forget about developers either. Here are a few new items developers can take advantage of in 3.1.

Improved CLI Installer

The command line installer gets non-interactive mode support in 3.1. This allows integration services to automate installation of Blesta. Read more about CLI installation.

Extensions Simplified

Plugins, Modules, and Gateways now support a config.json file that defines basic details such as author, name, version, and more. This greatly reduces the redundancy and maintenance across extensions, simplifying the development process. See configuration for Plugins, configuration for Modules, and configuration for Gateways for more details.

New Events

Almost a dozen new events have been added in 3.1. Of course, every event added opens up endless possibilities for new Plugins. See all events here.

Updated API

New features equals new and updated API commands (including Plugins). Check out the source code documentation.

Version 3.1 is currently in beta with a final release due out this week.
