Talks are going round about the new security release of PrestaShop. A blog on the official website of PrestaShop mentions about this security patch. Vincent Herbulot, a security consultant identified the issue and contacted the core developer team of PrestaShop under the responsible closure. He found out that there was an issue in the password generation algorithm which might be misused by hackers to get access to the admin panel of the PrestaShop store<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

I find the responsible closure of the PrestaShop really cool. It helps the individual to directly inform the PrestaShop team about the issues, rather than making it public. This helps to minimize the potential damage. Moreover, it provides time so that developers can create code to resolve the issue before letting users know about it. <\/p>\n

In this case also, the security team of PrestaShop worked with Vincent to develop the security patch, before announcing customers about the issue. They opted for PrestasShop module development services<\/strong><\/a> to create a Security Patch module that will help users and PrestaShop partners to secure the store.<\/p>\n

The versions which are not affected by this issue includes 1.6.1.0<\/strong> and PrestaShop cloud. 1.4.x, 1.5.x<\/strong>, and 1.6.x up to 1.6.0.14 are under the risk<\/strong>. Here are some of the ways in which the security patch can be applied to a PrestaShop store:
