WebForms extension exploit: are you protected?

Magento has released a new patch that covers critical vulnerabilities.

WebForms is a popular extension to add more robust forms functionality to Magento sites. Unfortunately, attackers are abusing an outdated version to upload and execute PHP scripts. This can result in stolen credit card details, customer and transaction lists, and even being locked out of your own store.

Anyone using WebForms Pro 2.7.6 or older should update the extension immediately, to version 2.7.9.

WebForms sent out the following information about the update process and ways to protect your store:

WebForms Pro Security Update

If you have WebForms version installed older than 2.7.6 please take action!
It has been recently discovered that WebForms extension can cause vulnerability on certain system configurations with Magento 1 platform installed.

If your server is running Apache 2.4, Nginx or PHP 7 you are strongly advised to download WebForms 2.7.7 update from your account area My Downloadable Products section.
The update contains new file upload scan to block possible script files from being uploaded to the server.

If you have a customized version of WebForms or performing the update is problematic, please remove the following directory:
/js/webforms/upload

It is a safe operation as it doesn’t affect any major functionality. This folder is present in current version of WebForms but will be removed in future updates.
If you have forms with file upload fields please limit allowed file extensions.”

We strongly recommend that all Magento site owners check for and patch this vulnerability right away. If you have any questions about whether your store is at risk or how to update the extension, we’re standing by to help.

Cost, technical support and promptness of return calls are of paramount importance to me since most of my work is done on the road and waiting for a reply is frustrating. eBoundHost has been a pleasure to work with friendly, courteous and professional.

Steve Berry

SUPER SUPPORT - even during "off hours" - Sundays & holidays. Responses have always been within minutes of the initial call or email. The BEST vendor I have ever used in my 10 plus years as a webhosting services consumer.

I came to eBoundHost after a very bad experience with a so called "big boy" - you know one of those places you are only a number. I have been a satisfied customer for more than 4 years now. The support is second to none.

I was just looking over our emails and adding up how much time you guys have taken to get me squared away with my new eboundhost account. I can't tell you what a relief it is to have fast, dependable hosting and the kind of immediate support I've gotten from you, after having struggled with a sub-standard host for years. eboundhost has, in the short time I've been with you, already saved me hundreds of dollars of billable time. My thanks.

I waited to write a review until I had absolutely everything working, thinking that something would come up that eboundhost couldn't solve almost immediately. I've never been so happy to be wrong - their customer support is just incredible.
