I agree this bug is not good. I also hope there is a 5.6.3 release but I did see that Joe Brinkman has said that there will be no more 5.x releases (see http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/F...).

Also, I don't know if this bug is the cause or not but can anyone else confirm that on 5.6.2 if you are on the user profile page and logout you get a too many redirects error (this happens on all web browsers for me)???

I am trying to understand if this is the same thing I am seeing after upgrade from 5.6.0. I did this updated to get it to work inside of 5.6.0 http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/200/threadid/397993/scope/posts/threadpage/3/Default.aspx. Then double checked this fix seems to be in source just not in the upgrade of DNN.dll file maybe? I am going to compile 5.6.2 to see if that will help fix the admin features showing for basic editors.

FYI, I just reported this issue to the security team as I believe it is a serious security issue. I made the request that a 5.6.3 release is created to fix it. If the last release in the 5.x family (which people will naturally assume is the stablest DNN version to use, even when 6.0 has been out for some time), contains a major security flaw, this will catch a lot of people out and not give them a good impression of DNN or DNN Corp.

I've just posted another comment on the partner forum to try and get some movement happening. Hopefully someone at DNN corps will realise how serious this issue is!

I could not figure anything out so sticking with 5.6 until I hear this has been fixed. Plus I am having other issues with some custom modules in 5.6 that I need to fix because debugging DNN code.
