CiviCRM 3.3.5 Released: Important Security Update

civicrm_logoThe CiviCRM development team has announced the availability of version 3.3.5 which includes two critical security updates as well as fixing a few bugs. The security updates include a fix for a cross-site scripting problem whereby the site could be exploited to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. The other issue is a permissioning vulnerability, which allowed anonymous users to potentially change information for another contact.

Overview of Feature List Covered in this Release:

  • CiviMail workflow functionality (Rules Integration). Read more here.
  • Back-office staff can now enter recurring contributions for constituents. Constituents can signup for automatically renewing memberships via online contribution pages. Back-office staff can also create auto-renew memberships. (Both features require use of Authorize.net, PayPal Pro or PayPal Standard payment processors) Read more here.
  • First version of new CiviCampaign component, it includes initial support for Canvassing, Surveys and Petitions.
  • Advanced search extended to show objects other than contacts (and object related actions) - including activities, contributions, etc.
  • Serious dedupe performance improvements.
  • First take on extension mechanism for CiviCRM, allowing creation and distribution of plugins (payment processors, custom search, custom report templates for now).
  • New case and grant reports.
  • Better "session" management support for CiviEvent.
  • First version of database logging, so you will be able to see who changed what and when.
  • Address sharing between any two contacts.

All HeronGrace client sites have been upgraded to the newest version per this announcement.
