Newscoop 3.5.5 and Newscoop 4 RC4 released to address vulnerabilities - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Adam Thomas

After being informed of vulnerabilities in Newscoop by High-Tech Bridge SA, we’ve released two updates - Newscoop 3.5.5 and Newscoop 4 RC4.

The vulnerabilities affect all versions of Newscoop prior to 3.5.4 and upgrade should be applied as soon as possible.

It also affects any development, beta or RC versions of Newscoop 4.0 (up to RC3) - for these sites, immediate upgrade to Newscoop 4 RC4 is recommended. This is not an official stable release yet and not recommended for production servers. We also sneaked some other improvements and bug fixes into this release (here's the full changelog).

Here’s the full lowdown on how to upgrade. (Newscoop 4 users should also check the wiki.)

Here are the tarballs for manual install:

If you have any issues, or need upgrade help, please let us know in the comments below!

Thanks, Adam

Upgrading the database from version 3.5.x...

Error: While upgrading the database: The upgrade process is already running.

It means that another process is running already. Actually you can just remove upgrade.php file because 3.5.5 doesn't update database scheme.
