Encrypt Admin Passwords


Hey PHPList Dev's

A customer of us was hacked (mysql bug) and the hacker could list all
phplist admin accounts directly from the database.

I checked out this:
http://forums.phplist.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=33976&hilit=password+encryption

... and think, DEV's should really encrypt admin passwords...

It's a simple thing, but it has to be done..

There is the option to encrypt user password, maybe per default also
admin passwords should be encrypted in the same way.

Thanks a lot..

kind regards from Switzerland
Thomas

Re: Encrypt Admin Passwords


Hello Thomas

Sorry to hear about the trouble. The development version which is
reasonably stable, has admin password encryption. I'm just waiting for
the design to be finished off, to declare it stable. I have no idea when
that might be. In the meantime, the latest dev version for download is
quite usable.

Good Morning Michiel

Thanks a lot for your feedback, that's good news :)
Have informed my customers and they willb ehappy ;)

Will the new version be available in maybe 3-4 weeks?

Btw. can the dev version be tested anywhere online, w/o installing it
myself? Maybe i can forward it also to my customers for testing...

Have a nice day

Kind regards

Re: Encrypt Admin Passwords


Hello Thomas

The latest dev code is online at http://dev.phplist.com/lists/admin/
It's an hourly checkout of the repository, or I should say repositories,
because currently phpList is spread across a few svn repos.

However, it's quite different from the latest downloadable dev version.
I don't think it'll be 4 weeks, probably a bit longer.
