Important EE 2.1 Security Build

Today EllisLab posted a new build of EE 2.1 that addresses a potential security issue in the previous build (released last week). If you updated to the 20100805 build, you should also update to the 20100810 build to patch the potential issue.

Complete changelog for the build:

  • Fixed a potential security issue in build 20100805 where in certain circumstances guest users might be incorrectly recognized as an authentic member.
  • Fixed a bug (#13516) where the language translation utility failed due to new language file naming scheme created in the last build.
  • Fixed a bug (#13517) where the deprecated gallery modules language file was still present.

If you hadn’t updated to that previous build your EE install is not affected by the incorrect authentication issue.
