XenForo 2.1.7 Released | XenForo 2.1.7 Released **** | Add-ons Released
XenForo 2.1.7 is now available for all licensed customers to download. We recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.1 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability.
Most importantly, this release fixes a security vulnerability in XenForo. Only XenForo 2.1.0 and above are affected.
The issue is a XSS vulnerability. XSS (Cross Site Scripting) issues allow scripts and malicious HTML to be injected into the page, potentially allowing data theft or unauthenticated access.
The vulnerability affects content displayed in the "Approval queue" and requires specially crafted text to be entered into a relevant field for the content type (such as a thread title).
XenForo extends thanks to @rdn for reporting the issue.
We also give an honourable mention to @TickTackk who reported a "self XSS" issue to us related to the Froala rich-text editor that we use. While we do not consider this to be a security issue, we have fixed it and appreciate the time taken to report it.
While we recommend doing a full upgrade to resolve this issue, you can also patch the issue yourself with a simple template edit.
The template in question is approval_queue_macros.
To patch your existing installation, please follow these steps:
