Xenforo 2.2.16 full nulled by tuoitreit.vn Patch 2

Firstly, to clarify some concerns that have arisen:

1. If you did a normal upgrade (either uploading files or via your admin control panel) you do not need to manually edit any files to receive the security fixes.
2. If you upgraded to the initial 2.2.16 release, you are fully protected against the security issues that were being addressed.

Secondly, a second patch is being released to address some minor bug fixes that may not have been correctly applied when upgrading to XenForo 2.2.16. This is only applicable if you performed a normal upgrade to 2.2.16, and this patch is not security related or affected by the security fixes.

You can download that now from your customer area or perform a one-click upgrade through your admin control panel. You can go to Tools > Check for upgrades in order to see the second patch release.

If you are running XenForo Cloud, the fixes have been applied automatically.

The patches above have been modified and include two additional files:

• src/XF/Admin/Controller/Node.php
• src/XF/Admin/Controller/Permission.php

You should re-apply the patch if you are unable to upgrade.

Hot on the heels of yesterday's XF 2.2.14 release and subsequent patches, we are today making XenForo 2.2.15 available for all licensed customers to download. We strongly recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.2 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability, particularly if you already upgraded to XenForo 2.2.14.

As of this point, XenForo 2.2.14 and its patches are no longer available for download. We are still planning a final XF 2.2 release at some point around the release of XenForo 2.3!

One-click upgrade to XenForo 2.2.15​

Directly from your admin control panel

If you are a XenForo Cloud customer, your upgrade will be scheduled automatically.

Some of the changes in XF 2.2.15 include:

• Avoid setting duplicate List-Unsubscribe headers.
• Include first post QA schema items unconditionally.
• Make outdated PHP version notice in admin control panel clearer.
• Retain the original unsubscribe EmailAddress option for backwards compatibility.
• New unsubscribe EmailHandling option to replace the new unsubscribeEmail option and conclusively fix issues arising from yesterday's XF 2.2.14 release.
• Fix URL unfurls no longer unfurling.

As always, new releases of XenForo are free to download for all customers with active licenses. You may now upgrade from your admin control panel or grab the new version from the customer area.

Current requirements​

Please note that XenForo 2.2 has higher system requirements than earlier versions.

The following are minimum requirements:

• PHP 7.0 or newer (PHP 8.2 recommended)
• MySQL 5.5 and newer (Also compatible with MariaDB/Percona etc.)
• All of the official add-ons require XenForo 2.2.
• Enhanced Search requires at least Elasticsearch 2.0.

Installation and upgrade instructions​

Full details of how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo 2 Manual. We strongly recommend upgrading directly from within your control panel.

XenForo 2.2.13 Released​

XenForo 2.2.13 is now available for all licensed customers to download. We strongly recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.2 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability.

In addition to the fixes listed below, we have a few other aces up our sleeves this time around.

Full iOS PWA compatibility with push notification support​

iOS 16.4 finally introduced push notifications for iOS devices. To facilitate this, your members need to install your site as a PWA (by utilising the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari). XenForo 2.2.13 now satisfies all of the prerequisites for this to support push notifications which can be enabled by your members once they log in through the PWA and enable push notifications in their Preferences.

The PWA (progressive web app) has now been enhanced with additional gesture based or UI controls, including pull down to refresh and a floating back button.

Structured data metadata improvements​

With many thanks to Ryan Levering from Google we have made a number of improvements to structured data metadata. Structured data enriches the pages we output with additional information which enables Google and other search engines to better understand the structure of the information that is rendered. This helps Google provide rich search results and helps provide additional context to users who may find your content during their Google searches.

Support for OAuth authentication for Microsoft 365 business email accounts​

Microsoft has deprecated the ability to send emails over SMTP using traditional username/password authentication. This is similar to what Google did a while ago. In light of this we have now added an additional option when setting up either your email transport or automated mail handlers (automated unsubscribe/bounce handling) which will enable you to authenticate with OAuth.

Note: The set up for this is fairly complex, requiring you to set up an Azure Active Directory application within the Azure developer portal. There is a link to the documentation when setting this up.

New CAPTCHA provider: Cloudflare Turnstile​

In September, Cloudflare Turnstile was announced. You may have noticed that we quickly implemented this into the software and it has been running here now for a little while.

While on the surface this may seem like "just another CAPTCHA" option, we feel that Cloudflare has gotten a lot of things right in its approach to this product that is missing from many other providers including HCaptcha and Google reCAPTCHA. It's a much better experience for your users, respects your users privacy and with XF 2.2.12 also provides more granular logging in the Cloudflare dashboard so you can see analytics about where in the software a CAPTCHA is being used.

We encourage you to read more about Cloudflare Turnstile on their blog and consider signing your site up, for free, right here or if you are an existing Cloudflare user, get started in your Cloudflare dashboard.

Advanced cookie consent system​

Starting with XF 2.2.12 you will be able to enable a new "Advanced" cookie consent system. This enables your users to have much more granular control over the specific cookies that are set, the purpose of each cookie and prevents certain cookies from being set at all until explicit consent is given.

As ever, this system is also extendable by add-on developers so that cookies set by an add-on can be appropriately categorised and also require consent before certain functionality is available.

This is not enabled by default and should currently be considered a Beta feature. If you wish to enable it, you can do so by searching for the cookieConsent option in your Admin control panel and setting the option to "Advanced". If you have feedback or further suggestions, please post a new thread in the XenForo suggestions forum, or if you notice any issues, please post a new thread in the Bug reports forum.

If you are a XenForo Cloud customer, your upgrade will be scheduled automatically. For self-hosted customers, read on...

Today, we are releasing XenForo 2.2.11 to address a potential security vulnerability. We recommend that all customers running XenForo 2.2 upgrade to 2.2.11 or use the attached patch file as soon as possible.

The issue relates to HTML attribute injection which can be triggered when rendering editor content, such as when a post is edited or quoted.

XenForo extends thanks to @PaulB, the team at @NamePros and @Xon for reporting the issues.

We recommend doing a full upgrade to resolve the issues, but a patch can be applied manually. See below for further details.

Note: There are no other changes in this release and any work previously done towards XenForo 2.2.11 - including a new CAPTCHA option by Cloudflare Turnstile and various bug fixes and improvements - will be released alongside XenForo 2.2.12 in the coming weeks.

Applying a patch manually​

If you are using XenForo 2.2.0 - 2.2.5​

Download the 220-225patch.zip file attached to this message. It will contain the following file:

1. src/XF/BbCode/Renderer/EditorHtml.php
2. src/XF/BbCode/Renderer/Html.php

If you are using XenForo 2.2.6 or above​

Download the 2211patch.zip file attached to this message. It will contain the following file:

1. src/XF/BbCode/Renderer/EditorHtml.php

Extract the zip file to your computer and upload the contents to the root of your XenForo installation. This should overwrite the files on your server with the new version.

Note: If you decide to patch the files instead of doing a full upgrade, your "File health check" will report this file as having "Unexpected contents". Because these files no longer contain the same contents your version of XF was shipped with, this is expected and can be safely ignored.

As always, new releases of XenForo are free to download for all customers with active licenses, who may now grab the new version from the customer area or upgrade from your Admin control panel (Tools > Check for upgrades...).

One-click upgrade to XenForo 2.2.11​
