How Secure Is SMF against SQL Injections

[3guk]

Hi Guys,

Since my SMF forum has now blossomed and is much bigger than one could have expected, I am getting worried about security problems.

In the last few days hundreds of IPB sites have been taken down / compromised due to SQL injections, just search "regvista forum" on google and you will see how widespread the problem is.

As of yet there doesnt seem to be an official hack on the regvista site, but I fear it is only a matter of time until SMF could be facing the same problems from a slightly modified version.

Is there much chance of this happening, I know Joomla! have had to release a new version to clean up some of the points of entry.

If you keep up to date and install all the security updates, then you'll be fine.

Your mods however may not be. You have to be careful with mods, and install them at your own risk.

Ok,

Well im keeping tabs on the sites I know that are releasing these things, so if I see an SMF one released will let the Dev's know through the relevant channels.

Thanks
