Joomla has put out an announcement that a new version, 3.4.5, will be released at 10 AM Eastern on Thursday that will contain a “very important security fix”. No details of what is the issue being fixed is have been released, but this is the first time that they have put out announcement like this as far back as we can remember, so it appears to be something that would be a major concern.<\/p>\n
The last release that fixed a vulnerability\u00a0that was exploitable in a non-targeted fashion\u00a0was version 2.5.3<\/a>, which came out in\u00a0March of 2012.<\/p>\n For those still running 2.5.x, it would be a good time for you to upgrade as support for that version ended back in December. That upgrade often isn’t a one-click upgrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joomla has put out an announcement that a new version, 3.4.5, will be released at 10 AM Eastern on Thursday that will contain a “very important security fix”.
