Hello everyone,

We'd like to announce Mahara 25.04.2 and Mahara 24.04.11, a security maintenance release. We recommend that every site is updated to mitigate the security issues that we have found, especially when you use the specific functionalities that exhibit the vulnerabilities.

A list of issues fixed is available to subscribers on the release page for 25.04.2 and on the release page for 24.04.11. The security issues are prefixed 'Security issue'.

As a subscriber, you have two options:

• Git: Pull the latest changes from the 25.04 Git branch or the 24.04 Git branch.

• Downloadable package: Use the 25.04.2 release files or the 24.04.11 release files listed under 'Mahara download files'. Do not download files labelled 'source code'. They don’t include the compiled code, libraries, or stylesheets needed to run Mahara.

For detailed instructions, visit our update guide in the wiki.

Thank you

The Mahara team at Catalyst

Hello everyone,

Mahara 24.04.11, the security release that we've made earlier today, is the last release for Mahara 24.04. We recommend you upgrade to Mahara 25.04 to continue receiving security updates. Alternatively, you can purchase the Extended Security Support.

Thank you

Kristina
