DNN 9.0.1 Security Bulletin Released

Today DNN Platform 9.0.1 has been released. This release resolves the following security issues:

·         2017-01 (Medium) Antiforgery checks on Web APIs can be ignored in certain situations

·         2017-02 (Low) Authorization can be bypassed for few Web APIs

·         2017-03 (Low) Socially engineered link can trick users into some unwanted actions

·         2017-04 (Low) Unauthorized file-copies can cause disk space issues

Full details of all the above issues can be read at https://www.dnnsoftware.com/platform/manage/security-center

As always we recommend you upgrade as soon as possible, particularly when the release contains any “critical” fix.

Also, we recommend users check the Security Analyzer page in the PersonaBar to help them audit their sites’ security settings.

 

Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the following for responsibly disclosing issues to our security team, and allowing us the time to resolve them:

Why don't these security alerts contain the affected versions? Most of my many, many sites are running V8.0.4. I'd like to know if this version (or any v7, v8) is affected and if there is any other remedy OTHER than upgrading to v9.0.1.

The problem is there is a major change in the administration UI, which will require re-educating users and ensuring that all modules and themes work as expected. This will be extremely burdensome and incur costs and time to clients if an upgrade is required.

Most developers pitch DNN as one of the most secure CMSs available, yet there does not seem to be a mature mechanism to alert developers when an issue arises. This could adversely impact the perceived security of DNN overall and make new customers less likely to consider it.

I try and routinely check the security alerts page but I sometimes miss them. Why isn't there an email alert subscription that we can join. I manage many sites and if I miss an alert it could have a devastating impact across many clients (e.g. 2016-06 and 2016-05 which caught many of us by surprise).
