You might have come across the security bulletin already, but there's quite a serious security issue in the PHP XML-RPC Library that is used by Nucleus and a bunch of other projects. Untill we have a new package available for download with the updated library, here is how to disable XML-RPC support on Nucleus:
- Delete the
/nucleus/xmlrpc/directory on your server. This will remove the XML-RPC server from Nucleus. As a result, nobody will be able to connect to Nucleus using external tools (wbloggar to name just one) anymore. - In the
/nucleus/libs/directory, replacexmlrpc.inc.phpandxmlrpcs.inc.phpby empty files. These are the actual libraries. Though this step is optional, you should do this just to be sure.
After these steps have been completed, the XML-RPC library is fully removed and your Nucleus installation is safe again.
Update: Nucleus v3.21 has been released!
