The previous versions of vbulletin are not affected by the security issue. It is only vb 3.8.6 that is vulnerable. Thus this board is not compromised. We are in no rush to upgrade to 3.8.6, with 3.8.5 running adequately for our needs.

vb 3.8.6 was primarily a bug release, not a security release. Thus it wasn't dealinig with vulnerabilities. However 3.8.6, only a few days old, did have a serious security problem with the FAQ system. The patch which has now been released fixes that. As a patch, the forum display numbering would not indicate if the upgrade had been added to the forum software it would still display 3.8.6.
