# 2.4.9 (2012-12-04) #

## Overview ##

This release provides security fixes to make password hashes more secure,
and fixes a regression around duplicated CMS actions.

## Upgrading

Impact of the upgrade:

* Reset password email links generated prior to 2.4.9 will cease to work.
* Users who use the "remember me" login feature will have to log in again.

API changes related security patch 22095dae:

* `Member::generateAutologinHash` is deprecated. You can no longer get the autologin token from `AutoLoginHash` field in `Member`. Instead use the return value of the `Member::generateAutologinTokenAndStoreHash` and do not persist it.
* `Security::getPasswordResetLink` now requires `Member` object as the first parameter. The password reset URL GET parameters have changed from only `h` (for hash) to `m` (for member ID) and `t` (for plaintext token).
* `RandomGenerator::generateHash` will be deprecated with 3.1. Rename the function call to `RandomGenerator::randomToken`.

### Security: Hash autologin tokens before storing in the database.

Severity: Moderate

Autologin tokens (remember me and reset password) are stored in the database as a plain text.
If attacker obtained the database he would be able to gain access to accounts that have requested a password change, or have "remember me" enabled.
