And if he has vuln for patch it or other. 

I pay good.
Thanks
There are no known security issues or exploits in the latest MyBB forum software version.
If a vulnerability comes to light, it is fixed as soon as possible with another upgrade. By now we can expect and rely on a secure software.

I recommend to secure your AdminCP by renaming the /admin directory (you can also use a honeypot /admin fake page) and also implement a multi-factor authentication using .htaccess for a password protected directory.

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lots of i will work hard on this

Hey i have a question about

Examples of sensitive Values:

var my_post_key = "0c153ee1b3a6f3847d98ab660fc0a64b";
<input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="0c153ee1b3a6f3847d98ab660fc0a64b" />
<a href="https://example.com/member.php?action=logout&amp;logoutkey=e77ed4a03c8ae73f3aada970f0230d3f" class="logout">
SELECT * FROM mybb_sessions WHERE sid='2ab3cb1c5142e42654cab26aa9fd0ee9' AND ip=X'4d794242'

How i can hide this ? It a the end of the file i have all secure

Can i just delete this 4 ligne in template ?

Thanks again
The variable my_post_key is used to prevent XSS attacks. It is generated based on your login key which is generated when you log into the forum. The logout key is used to log out the correct user.
So this key is unique for each user ?

It's not a vulnerability ?
Sry but i prefer to ask i don't wan't to have stupid fail inside mybb.

I have setup some security on my forum right now. But need more and more security lol

This key is a session security feature, it prevents vulnerability!
