Two new high importance security releases of Mahara are now available: 1.5.8 and 1.6.3. Administrators of all Mahara sites are encouraged to upgrade. The vulnerability disclosures can be found in the following posts to the security forum:

  https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=5236
  https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=5237

Both updates also includes a few important bug fixes. You can find the full list of changes and download links from these pages:

We would also like to remind site administrators that Mahara 1.4 is no longer supported and that the Mahara project currently only offers security support for the Mahara 1.5 and 1.6 series.

As usual, if you find any other problems with these releases, please file a bug on our tracker:
