2 Exploits for Kusaba Detected, Here’s the Patch

Recently, 2 exploits were announced for Kusaba - they allowed someone to remotely upload files and then execute them. This was done by exploiting two vulnerabilities found in vulnerability in paint_save.php and load_receiver.php

In any case, the forks have all stated that they have fixed the bugs in their releases, after several *chan sites got hosed (MC wasn’t affected). However, Harrison (who’s doing the Kusaba X fork) has released a standalone patch here, if you still want to patch Kusaba without migrating to one of the forks.

Please note that I won’t provide support regarding the patch, you’ll need to talk to him regarding that.

However, now that Kusaba has forked into three different projects (KusabaX, Kusaba-2 and Serissa), it’ll be interesting to see the directions each one takes - whether they’ll add new features, clean up the code, etc. This also gives a good chance to implement some things that that people wanted but Trevor wasn’t bothered to add in the end. Here is my wishlist, born out of experience:
