Hi Charles,
That all sounds good and well except that, per shaun's blog, I have a really hard time beleaving any of it.  DotNetNuke Corp had two companies contact them, one of them was a prominent vendor in the DotNetNuke community, and neither of them provided any details....?  Yeah right...  DotNetNuke Corp - Get off your high horse and get the issues resolved.

Right now you guys should stop flaming them and just get the patch out.

Oh, by the way, good job on the censorship - I see ya'll deleted the thread that had all of powerdnn's posts in it.

I tried going to the insecure page on DotNetNuke.com and it has been fixed.

What does that mean?  If it means the PowerDNN scanner no longer shows the site as vulnerable, then it may not be patched.  I "patched" my site by removing the text files the PowerDNN scanner looks for.  Now my site is no longer vulnerable according to the scanner.  Honestly, removing text files that never get served doesn't secure my site from SQL injection and the other horrors that PowerDNN alludes to.

Be patient or pay PowerDNN for the "patch".

At this point I'm loosing a lot of confidence in the core team really quickly.  In another post, charles said this issue has existed for 12-18 months!  I would expect that with something that has been around that long that they would already have an official patch.  What scares me the most is that the core team doesn't seem to care.

We have a security policy for a reason.

We may have done a quick and dirty fix to our site - but we CANNOT release a quick and dirty patch to our users - we HAVE to release the proper fix, AFTER proper testing.
