    Incorrect information.  vBulletin 3.0 is still in beta and is not
    available for download.  vBulletin team has posted a fix and will
    include this patch in the upcoming 2.2.9 release.
    
    To download the bug fix, please go to this URL:

    As far as I know, vBulletin was not informed about this security bug
    before the exploit went public.
    
    BTW, I do not work for vBulletin.
    
    Best,
