    Re: DNN 4.5.3 Change Log

    You mentioned that there were two security related fixes in 4.5.3. I don't see a Security Bulletin posted for them.

    Can you give more information on the severity rating (or other description) of those issues? (I need them for servicing a security update for a client.)

    Thanks!

    Dagilleland,
    there is no intrusion risk, it is more an UI issue to misconfigure page permissions, granting unwanted permissions to all users if not being careful, when saving page settings. The risk only shows up, if you are assigning permissions to individual users (newly introduced in DNN 4.4.1)

    I have actually seen that problem occur. Good to know it's been rectified!
