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 Unfortunately, attackers are abusing an outdated version to upload and execute PHP scripts.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.

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.

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.

Fast, reliable, full of features... Over the years, I have used more than a dozen hosts, both the big ones and smaller ones; eBoundHost.com is by far my favorite.

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.

From using your hosting services for dozens of web clients and appreciating your wonderful customer service (all the while enjoying spending my meaty affiliate checks), I look forward to growing with you and watching you evolve surely and steadily into a powerhouse of a force to be reckoned with for your competitors. In an overcrowded abyss of hosting providers it is an absolute MUST to stand out above the crowd if you want to claim your stake and play with the big boys. Period. All I can say is this...Look Out World - GAME ON!!!
