    An XSS exploit has been discovered in 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. We strongly recommend that anyone running these versions immediately patch their systems.

    If you are running 4.0.2 already, simply download the latest Security patch: 4.0.2 Suite PL1 from the Patches section in the Members Area, extract the 5 patch files, then upload these files making sure to overwriting the existing files. This will update your version to the latest patch release. The patch files are:

    includes/class_core.php
    includes/functions_forumdisplay.php
    includes/functions.php
    includes/version_vbulletin.php
    vb/legacy/thread.php

    If you are running 4.0.1, you will need to do a full upgrade to 4.0.2 PL1 (available in the Members Area.) Just download the latest release and upgrade normally.

    Yes this place has alot of custom mods and alot of custom styling which i will need to change before upgrading so hopefully i will get it all finished this weekend. The server does backups every two hours so not really much to worry about

    One thing I can say about vbulletin, they seem to be pretty good about keeping everything up to date. It seems that ever since vb4 has been released, its been one update after another.
