ImpressCMS Releases 1.2.2 Final - A Security Release

The ImpressCMS Project (www.impresscms.org) has just released ImpressCMS 1.2.2, which is a security release. This version patches a recently discovered vulnerability in an external library, CSSTidy. The file containing the vulnerability is not used by ImpressCMS, and should be removed.

The vulnerability was reported on Secunia as a cross-site scripting vulnerability targeting a file in the CSSTidy plugin. Upgrading to ImpressCMS 1.2.2 will take care of removing the exploitable file.

To remove the file without performing an update to your installation, you can manually remove plugins/csstidy/css_optimiser.php.

Where do I get ImpressCMS 1.2.2?

You can download the latest release from our file release system on SourceForge. The download packages allows you to either do a fresh installation, or upgrade from an earlier version of ImpressCMS or XOOPS.
