Investigations by GulfTech Research And Development have
revealed a long standing weakness in Mambo that could allow a hacker to
compromise sites built on Mambo. The firms findings will be published in about a
week's time.
The Mambo development team has created fixes for versions 4.5.3 and 4.5.3h.
The new patch files can be found at MamboXchange
The patch packages are delivered in both ZIP and TAR.GZ formats - select
whichever is right for you. Each package contains two files - content.php and
mambo.php. These should replace the corresponding files in your existing
installation, as follows: (1) The first file (content.php) should be used to
overwrite this file: /components/com_content/content.php.
(2) The
second file (mambo.php) should be used to overwrite this
file: /includes/mambo.php.
If you are running an earlier version of Mambo than 4.5.3 we recommend that
you consider upgrading.

Mamboforge is back and is sporting a new name: MamboXchange! The Xchange is the heart and soul of Mambo. More reliable and solid than ever before and we even have a look and feel to boot! While we did have a database problem that caused the loss of some records of users and projects, but we are now confident of restoring them over the next few days so soon it will be just like the Forge ... but better!
Please feel free to get back into working on your projects and if you find errors or have any issues please email. We're here to stay and we hope you are too!
MamboV4.5.3h Global Edition combines MamboV4.5.3h and Mamlang1.1. It's
MamboV4.5.3h and Mamlang1.1 two in one, makes Mambo supports international
languages.
MamboV4.5.3h Global Edition contains three languages, each language has local
encode and UTF-8 encode, they are English(iso-8859-1/UTF-8), Simplified
Chinese(gb2312/UTF-8) and Traditional Chinese(BIG5/UTF-8). You can easily
translate into your own language. The installation language files are in
installation/language directory, the frontend and backend language files are in
language directory.
Mamlang is the whole international languages solution for Mambo, consists of
installation, frontend and admin backend language translation. It can solve the
backend menu and parameter language translation, and can deal with local encode
and UTF-8 encode too.
