That could lead to bad code and a bad product with no clear direction. Thus, we are looking to form a team to lead the product in the right direction. This team will review code and commit it where it sees necessary. This team will be the ones releasing...

Potential XSS vulnerabilities has been identified in vBulletin 4.0.2 PL2 in relation to the CMS content type search widgets (recent threads, recent posts, and general search), and CMS article preview on section pages.

During the QA process testing that issue, we discovered other related vulnerabilities. This was the cause of the delay in an official announcement and patch release. We are issuing a patch release to address these issues. The upgrade process is the same as previous patch level releases - simply download the patch from the Members Area, extract the files and upload to...
