Update Your Joomla Site Now!

If you’re using an old version of Joomla, make sure that you update your site now.

Joomla’s security team has just released a new version to update a critical remote command execution vulnerability that affects CMS versions 1.5 to 3.4. If you don’t patch your CMS immediately, this vulnerability can be easily exploited by hackers.

According to Joomla’s latest press release, the latest patch also fixes four low-level security vulnerabilities and hardens the user password reset system.

In case you are using the old and unsupported versions 1.5.x and 2.5.x, you have to update your system from here: https://docs.joomla.org/Security_hotfixes_for_Joomla_EOL_versions.

As for those who are not using the unsupported versions, you can get the latest patch here:
