Tetra WebBBS 6.11 is mainly a security release to fix an issue raising it's ugly head a few days ago and brought to my attention last night. Fortunately the security leakage isn't effective on some servers, that's mainly why I couldn't find it before. My machines were hardened by other means. But I admit it's a leakage in the core scripts. That's why a current snapshot is released as Tetra WebBBS 6.11.

I won't go into any details because advice is pretty simple:
Update/upgrade your forums to version 6.11 immediately. Period.

Other than the fix mentioned the new release comes with a few more improvements and two minor new features:

• Pagination line on the message index page now includes an option to directly jump to any message index page. This improves navigation on larger sites with a huge number of index pages.
• When posting a new message the preview page now offers a "Post" button right below the preview area and above the postform. This was suggested by a contributor some months ago for better usability. However, the button utilizes JavaScript. But that's certainly a minor issue these days.

Again:
Update/upgrade your forums to version 6.11 immediately.
