MAJOR flaw found in vbulletin !! MODS READ THIS NOW
Ok yet again i have found a major flaw in GFY and in all of the latest versions of vbulletin.
Simply put , if used properly, it means you can take over anyone's account.
Anyone who runs vbulletin needs to contact me ASAP ( smokey_the_bearz(AT)mailcity.com ) and look for the latest patch that should be available within the next few days i'm sure ( from vbulletin )...
There really isn't much to patch with this flaw, it's going to take some rewriting to patch properly.
GFY still has a few open holes as well besides this new one. " mods/techs you can't just patch the stuff i post , you have to read the previous emails i sent to the mods and lensman with exact details etc etc "
Now as far as gratitude.
Should i just be handing out this stuff on a platter for gfy and everyone else with no thanks in return just because i happen to think GFY is quite fun and because im such a nice fellow ??
Or
Should i demand godlike status here and get to edit everyone's post at random and make people shove c bills down my stinky drawers to post. !!
Or
Should i give the info away to someone who will wreak havoc upon gfy for a few weeks, take mods names and ban everyone else.
Im all for full exposure/disclosure when flaws like the one i have found exist. I will refrain from posting the details here, only because i think gfy should be given some fair warning ( and because of the whiners , who think everything should be kept hush hush ) , BUT , i will give out full details to (any board) admins who contact me, so the information will be out there fairly soon.
Need i remind you what i could have done instead.. - Taken an admins name , locked out those who's opinion i don't happen to share. edited some posts to make people look foolish and confused, and generally cause quite a disturbance and confusion amongst the GFY populace..
Mods- to sum it up , I told you about bad fruit, so you ignored it, so i showed you a bad apple and you threw it away, so i showed you a bad orange and you threw that away , so i showed you a bad banana and you threw that way .. - point,, look at the fruit closer.
