WP-Cal plugin security vulnerability

| January 29, 2008 | 2 Comments

A vulnerability has been discovered in the WP-Cal plugin for WordPress, an event calendar plugin by Fahlstad. This vulnerability can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Just last week another plugin by Fahlstad had a security issue uncovered: the WP-Forum plugin. Bad luck for Fahlstad?

    Not sure of it got to do with bad luck, rather laziness imho. He’s gone and doesn’t develope these project anymore.

    I’d like to see someone else taking over his projects so he can focus on whatever he’s doin. Because they’re really good projects and definitely worth a second chance. :/

    Mike – I would call it lack of time rather than laziness. Fahlstad really did develop some great plugins and themes, so we have to thank him for that, even if he’s not continuing.
