CactuShop Security Updates
Question
Where can I download the latest CactuShop security updates?
Answer
In recent months there there have been a couple of security patches release for CactuShop. Some users have still not installed these.
The updates for v5 and v6 can all be found within a single zip:
v5/v6 Security Updates
All stores, regardless of database type, must install these updates to remain secure.
Furthermore, we would strongly advise all store owners to ensure that their back end system was not modified by their developer to hide CactuShop news and updates. This is where critical issues will be notified, and removing this functionality will prevent you receiving important information including announcements of security updates.
We would also recommend reviewing our new .net cart, Kartris - www.kartris.com. This signficantly improves security with a number of measures including hashed passwords throughout and immunity to SQL injection through use of parametrized stored procedures exclusively, as well as various built-in ASP.NET security features.
