Security patch
- #13470 - Clipboard toggle endpoint is vulnerable to SQL injection
Thanks to a security report from the United Nations Archives and Records Management Section and Carleton University Library, we have patched a SQL injection vulnerability caused by a non-parameterized query on the clipboard, an issue found in releases 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6. This is a blind SQL injection vulnerability, which fortunately reduces the range of exploits this might expose - but nevertheless should be taken seriously and addressed quickly.
This 2.6.2 release includes a fix that patches the vulnerability. We recommend that all users upgrade to 2.6.2 as soon as possible. While we are not preparing full release tarballs for 2.5.x and 2.4.x, you will also find patches for these releases, as well as 2.6.x, that can be applied locally if upgrading to 2.6.2 is not an option.
