Joomla – Major Security Fix in Version 3.4.5
A new Joomla security vulnerability was officially announced by the Joomla Security Strike Team (JSST). It is affecting a large number of users and can easily allow full access to your website and disclosure of all the information in your database. Our recent investigation shows that one-third of the CMS users are affected by the security vulnerability and an immediate update is required to protect your website.
Affected Joomla Versions
The affected versions are between 3.0 and 3.4.4. The Joomla! 3.4.5 is important as it provides a security fix that will ensure your website is protected.
Vulnerability Fix
On the 22nd of October, the Joomla project released the 3.4.5 version, which provides a security fix that will keep your website protected. Just 90 minutes after the announcement, third-party projects started publishing information on how to exploit the vulnerability and gain access to Joomla! websites. A very dangerous situation that requires immediate attention.
