joomla34graphicThe Joomla project has just released Joomla 3.4.6 to address a Critical Vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also present in discontinued Joomla 2.5 and 1.5 series (Joomla 1.0 is ok). If you still have sites running off these old Joomla versions you must patch them appropriately.

For these old versions, a simply file replacement is all that is needed.
