MyBB 1.6.4 is now available from the MyBB website and is a feature update, security and maintenance release for the 1.6 series.
Security Updates:-
There are also 3 security updates for 1.6.4. Overall, they are low risk vulnerabilities as they all require administrator permissions – however, one of these is classed as high risk if a user manages to get into the Admin Control Panel (ACP).
As a result of this, it is recommended that only certain types of variables are used in templates that follow the MyBB Development Standards – although other types may be used it the templates are installed to the database through your plugin, Administrators will not be able to save templates with these variables in.
Theme Artists and Plugin Developers should take a close look at the new changes to see if their work will be affected by the new changes and update them accordingly.
