An apposite mailing list (drakecms-security@lists.sourceforge.net) has been created to discuss all publicly disclosed security reports (mostly from National Vulnerability Database and Security Focus); for the valid security reports temporary solutions will be offered even before the official patch release. Specific patches will be released for all critical vulnerabilities (available through the automatic update feature).
This vulnerability has been fixed in the upcoming Drake CMS v0.4.1 Beta, previous versions’ users can update their software directly from the administrative backend. Cumulative patches will also be available in the project downloads area.
