Dear Devs,

Regarding your statement 11/8/2013 at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openolat/vFkDt_z29ng

"it also addresses severe security vulnerability recently discovered in a security audit throughout the entire system"

We are running a modified OO version 8.4 in our environment.Unfortunately upgrading is a costly option for us, due to the number of modifications that we have carried out on the 8.4 codebase. The presence of a known vulnerability is a huge problem, so I am trying to find any information about it (JIRA does not allow me to look up OO-689). Would you perhaps be so kind to share the nature and details of the vulnerability and  and what you did to fix it?

Many thanks and best regards,
Ilya

Hi Ilya

Have a look at 


maybe more in other commit sets. 

Old OpenOLAT (and OLAT versions are not properly hardened against XSS attacks. Consider upgrading to 10.0 instead of patching your code. You will have many other benefits from upgrading to OpenOLAT 10 (which we will introduce on this list today or tomorrow). 

Cheers
Florian
