Via Slashdot, on the vBulletin forum:

A potential exploit vector has been found in the vBulletin 4.1+ and 5+ installation directories. Our developers are investigating this issue at this time. If deemed necessary we will release the necessary patches. In order to prevent this issue on your vBulletin sites, it is recommended that you delete the install directory for your installation. The directories that should be deleted are:

4.X - /install/
5.X - /core/install

After deleting these directories your sites can not be affected by the issues that we’re currently investigating.

Just sayin' ... :cool:

From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

Cheers for the heads up but we're running a rather modified version of vBulletin-I'll pop this into Site Dev anyway for the lads
