WoltLab Suite Forum 5.5.10

We have just released new versions of our products:

• WoltLab Suite 5.5.8
• WoltLab Suite 5.4.25
• WoltLab Suite 5.3.26

Stability releases (third part of the version number, also known as “patch releases”) aim to solve existing problems in the current version. Like every stability release, they do not introduce new features. It is strongly recommended to apply these updates.

Security Notice​

We have been notified by Chabik Hatim about a vulnerability in the processing of a malformed user account activation code. Accessing the user account activation form with manipulated activation code parameters allowed HTML code to be injected into the generated error message on that page.



All WoltLab Cloud customer installations have already been updated.
