Hello,

I am Rick Elnor, the Etomite CMS security expert and owner ow Nixbased 
Security Consulting. I have noticed you reported the Etomite cij Variable 
Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability on your website. This information 
is not accurate.

Heres the truth: "The eto site got hacked - they downloaded the etomite 
v0.6.0 files, and implemented a security exploit into them on the 11th of 
January, and reuploaded to the eto server. They also did the same with the 
RC3 files.

The RTM files have been unaffected, as they are held on the secondary eto 
server.

If you downloaded Etomite v0.6.0 prior to the 10th of January, your etomite 
install is safe.
If you downloaded Etomite v0.6.0 or v0.6.1 RC3 after the 10th of January, 
your install may be compromised and you should upgrade to the RTM 
immediately.

The second issue (which we knew about from day 1) - which is now completely 
irrelevant anyway (they made the code look like the "phone home" feature of 
etomite which is why we thought the issues were related).
What the Phone Home feature does is phone home to the etomite server and 
tell us where you are running your etomite install ONLY if you untick the 
License Agreement box on the login page. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME v0.6.0 SENT 
US ANY DATA.

We no longer collect the data, as I have removed the datacollection script."

The above was posted as a forum message on the Etomite forums today at this 
location http://www.etomite.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4291
