Security Fix​

Today we are advising all customers running XenForo that a potential security vulnerability has been identified. All affected customers running XenForo 2.3.0 should upgrade to XenForo 2.3.0 Release Candidate 1, including XenForo Media Gallery 2.3.0 Release Candidate 1 if needed.

If you also have active installs of XenForo 2.2 or XenForo 2.1 you should refer to the earlier thread with details and patch.

The issue relates to a potential cross-site request forgery and code injection vulnerability which could lead to a remote code execution (RCE) or cross-site scripting (XSS) exploit.

Shortly after the release of Release Candidate 1, we identified an issue related to editing node-like permissions. A very minor bug was surfaced by the changes today. Specifically one of our view class names was using a \ instead of a :

Due to a localised shortage of version numbers (we cannot increment the version to a patch release for release candidates) we have released Release Candidate 2 to address this.

The specific files with changes are:
  • src/XF/Admin/Controller/Node.php
  • src/XF/Admin/Controller/Permission.php
As we get ever closer to the fabled "release candidate" stage and the eventual stable release, today we are releasing the eighth beta for XenForo 2.3! Nothing particularly noteworthy this week other than a number of bug fixes.

We strongly recommend anyone testing 2.3 during this beta period upgrade as each beta version is released.
Welcome to 2.3.0 Beta 7! Since our last release we have been mostly focusing again on bug fixes and stability, though we do have an interesting change to note related to multibyte strings, specifically URL romanization. If available, we now use the intl extension and perform a multi-layered process for normalizing and transliterating strings. This is now much more intelligent as it handles some special cases for certain locales (based on the default language of the forum).

We also have a new option for controlling the output of emojis in URLs. You can leave them URL encoded, remove them, or convert them to a string based on the emoji name. This also requires the intl extension.
This week (and a bit) we have been extremely busy working towards that enticing milestone of a stable release. There's still a little while to go with a healthy number of bugs, feedback and other bits in our backlog that we'd like to work through, but each release represents a significant amount of effort and progress towards the end goal.

While we have mostly focused on bug fixes and other stability improvements, this has resulted in some notable changes which you should be aware of.
Finally, the add-ons have some love ❤️ While there is the usual amount of bug fixes as we work hard to make XenForo 2.3 even more stable, this Beta in particular brings a number of new features to our official add-ons.
Today, we continue the, uh, trend of weekly beta releases for XenForo 2.3 with Beta 4. This release fixes a number of bugs found since the previous release, and adds support for trending content which you can read about right here.

In addition to the trending content widget we have also made the following notable changes:
  • You can now log in to the admin control panel using your configured passkey.
  • Changes to the job queueing system that allows a caller to create jobs with a specified priority.
  • Webhook support for user upgrades.
  • Separated XF.Cropbox from avatar.js into its own file, crop_box.js.
Today, we continue the beta stage of XenForo 2.3 with Beta 3, albeit a little later than originally planned This release fixes a number of bugs found since the previous release, and adds support for passwordless logins with passkeys which you can read about right here. There are a few known issues with passkeys at this point, particularly with hardware-based keys, so please check the bug reports forum if you run into anything.

We strongly recommend anyone testing 2.3 during this beta period upgrade as each beta version is released.

More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.

This is beta software. It is not officially supported.

Please remember that this is beta software. It contains known bugs and incomplete functionality. We do not recommend running beta software in a production environment, and support is limited at this time to questions here on the community forums.

Add-ons and custom styles may be broken after upgrading to 2.3. You must test your add-ons thoroughly or look for updates. Be especially careful with add-ons that cover similar features to ones that are added to 2.3; these may conflict with the core XenForo data. If data conflicts are found, they will need to be resolved in a new add-on release or by removing the add-on before upgrading to 2.3.

If you choose to run beta software, it is your responsibility to ensure that you make a backup of your data. We recommend you do this before attempting an upgrade. If in doubt, always do a test upgrade on a copy of your production data.
