?Security Risk with RoboHelp 8?

[Ronkissiah]

Received  message from our in-house IT support department about a security risk associated with RoboHelp 8 this morning. Their warning stated, "A critical vulnerability exists in the current version of RoboHelp.  This vulnerability could result in an unauthenticated user uploading and executing arbitrary code. " I contacted Adobe Support, and they were unable to give any details. So I logged a bug report on the technical support page. My company is now asking that I uninstall Robohelp.

Does anybody know about this security risk? Any ideas on how to address it?

Thank you for whatever information you can provide.

Hi there

Likely they are referring to RoboHelp Server. The link below provides more.

If you aren't using RoboHelp Server (An additional product that cost's roughly $2,000 and is installed on your web server) you aren't affected.

Cheers... Rick

LOL, nothing like seeing a nice autoresponder kick in immediately after posting.

Thank you. This is a relief, and our IT people have withdrawn their request that I unistall RoboHelp.
