<h3>Security</h3>
<p>One low-level and one high-level security issue were fixed in this release:</p>
<ul>
	<li>High Priority: Directory Traversal. A crafted request can allow an attacker to view directory trees on the server. Note: contents of files cannot be edited or deleted, just viewed. <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security/news/288-20090102-core-plgxstandard-directory-traversal.html">More information »</a></li>
	<li>Low Priority: SSL Session Token Disclosure. When running a site as SSL ONLY, if a non-SSL request is made, an attacker can obtain the session token. There is NO risk for Web sites that use both HTTP and HTTPS. <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security/news/287-20090101-core-jsession-ssl-session-disclosure.html">More information »</a></li>
</ul>

<h3>Happy third birthday, Joomla!</h3>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>It's hard to believe that three years have passed by so quickly. In that short time, the Joomla community has grown so much larger and stronger than we could have ever imagined.&#160;Today, Google search results on Joomla yield over 100 million results. The Joomla group of Web sites serves 1 million visitors per week.<br />
<br />
In the past year, Joomla has released the groundbreaking Joomla 1.5, launched the <a href="http://community.joomla.org/">Joomla Community Portal</a> and team blogs (including the <a href="http://community.joomla.org/magazine.html">Joomla Community Magazine</a> and <a href="http://community.joomla.org/connect.html">JoomlaConnect™</a>), the <a href="http://docs.joomla.org/">Joomla Documentation Wiki</a>, <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/">Joomla Developer section</a> and our new site design.</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>Since March 2007, there have been over 6 million downloads of Joomla. And yet, it feels like we are just getting geting started. We hope that you are having fun using Joomla and we encourage you to get involved in the community and help make Joomla even better for the fourth birthday celebration. There are great things in store for Joomla in the years to come!</div>

Together, part of their goal is to investigate and respond to security matters.</p> <p>JSST leader <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security/jsst-members/38-jsst-members/2-ircmaxell.html">Anthony Ferrara</a> is excited about what this means for Joomla security. "We're already well into our first mission—a low-level code audit and a deeper look into every reported vulnerability since 1.5.0 alpha."</p> <p>The new JSST will call the new <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security.html">Joomla Security Center</a> their home base. The Security Center provides a public presence for <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security/news.html">security issues</a> and a platform for the JSST to <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security/articles-tutorials.html">help the general public better understand security</a> and how it relates to Joomla. The Security Center also offers users a clearer understanding of how security issues are handled. There's also a <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/JoomlaSecurityNews">news feed</a>, which provides subscribers an up-to-the-minute notification of security issues as they arise.</p> <p>"The Joomla Core Team has been planning a new security team for a few months now in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The previous team worked in relative isolation, but the new Strike Team will have a strong public-facing presence," said Ferrara.</p> <p>But the JSST won't stop there. They fully expect the Joomla community to do its part in reporting vulnerabilities and have <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/security/contact-the-team.html">created a form for such reports</a>. For each verified security issue reported, the JSST will send the user a <a href="http://shop.joomla.org/">free Joomla t-shirt</a>.</p> <p>Ferrara said, "Security is a perpetual process. We're going to make Joomla even better than it already is."</p>
