Question: Did the update to 1.8.28 cause the problem ?

I ask because I have not yet updated to 1.8.28 as it's only been out 4 days.

Thank you.

Not as I understand the situation: it's been there for many versions.

I have just noticed in the blog post there is an advisory link and it says.

Affected versions >= 1.2.0, < 1.8.29

The vulnerable module requires Admin CP access with the Can manage settings? permission.

Thank you for the answer Laird.

This latest update doesn't have any /install folder.

It has only two files... So, does it mean that I don't have to disable all the plugins while updating?? Just replacing the files shall do??

From https://mybb.com/versions/1.8.29/:

To upgrade from the previous version: copy and overwrite files from the Changed Files package.

No, to be honest it's not usually essential for most upgrades anyway, mainly big ones like 1.6 > 1.8. But for a minor one like this where you don't need to run the upgrade script, then definitely not, no.
