Default vBa Links Security Flaw & New Releases

Today a security flaw with vBadvanced Links Directory has been pointed out that could potentially allow a spammer to send mass e-mails via the "Send to Friend" feature. To address this, vBa Links v4.2.5 (vB4) and 3.3.1 (vB3) have been released and are now available in the Members' Area here. We strongly recommend that all customers upgrade as soon as possible in order to prevent any potential damage resulting from the flaw being exploited.

Upgrading
As usual, upgrade instructions may be found at the bottom of the readme.html file that comes with the download package.

Problems or Questions?
Please DO NOT reply to this thread for support. Please create a new thread in the appropriate vBa Links 4.0 Support or vBa Links 3.0 Support forums.

Thanks for the update. Does this security flaw also affect sites that have the send to friend function turned off?
