SQL Injections (Prior to EasyDiscuss 5.0.5)
We would also like to take this opportunity to advise users who are still on any versions prior to EasyDiscuss 5.0.5 to update to the latest version as soon as possible to address a possible SQL injection vulnerability that would impact user's listing.
Updating to EasyDiscuss 5.0.12
Updating EasyDiscuss is a pretty straight-forward procedure. You can update EasyDiscuss using the single click updater in Joomla or the back-end of EasyDiscuss. Alternatively, you can also download the latest version from your dashboard and install it just like how you normally install any extension.
Our awesome support team is always around should you require any assistance at all.
Happy Updating!
