But dont abuse of it!
Thanks to Margus Pala, a security Flaw has been reported and corrected in SecurityImages version 5.1.2 and previous
The flaw is of moderate level, in register forms, spammers are able to register without solving the Captcha!
- It affect only SecurityImages 5.x for Joomla! 1.5
- SecurityImages 6.x for Joomla! 1.6 is not affected
In order to resolve this issue, you don’t have to install any new version of SecurityImages, you must either
- Update your blog with the right version of the joomla! patches, the all end with Joomla_1.5.x-Stable-Full_PackageForSecurityImages5.y.z_v01.03.00
OR
- Edit the file components\com_user\controller.php and remove the line 274 ($this->register())
if ($useSecurityImagesInRegister && !$this->checkSecurityImagesCaptcha()) {
JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_('SECURITYIMAGES REJECT USER ENTRY'));
$this->register();
return false;
}
These patches versions have the flaw

You can download the updated versions in HERE or search the download section, type 1.5.23 for the patches for 1.5.23 for example
Just in case I take too much time to deliver a ready to use download, duration 5 minutes, but you need to understand basic php coding
- Create a temporary directory c:\patch
- Copy an existing patch distribution, under a new name
For example, lets download Joomla_1.5.13-Stable-Full_PackageForSecurityImages5.1.x_v01.01.00.zip into c:\patch\ and copy it to c:\patch\Joomla_1.5.14-Stable-Full_PackageForSecurityImages5.1.x_v01.01.00.zip - Download the latest full zip package of Joomla that target the patch (here 1.5.14), so I download Joomla_1.5.14-Stable-Full_Package.zip and save it in the same directory c:\patch\
- Now download a free trial copy of Beyond compare from www.scootersoftware.com and install this great application
- Select the 2 zip files, and right click “compare”
- Now it is like a game, on the left side, you have you patch that need to be updated with the latest Joomla! core changes, just edit every file present on the left and update line that are new or changed till you are finished. Luckily there is only 14 files to merge
- Test the result in a Joomla test instance.
I do this for you at each release of Joomla!
This version should improve installations on some host, where the plugin securityimages.php did not always install properly. The reason behind is that I did add falsely an additional file index.html in plugin.zip. This may lead to permissions issues during installation. SecurityImages 5.1.2 do not contains any other changes, so If you’re happily running SecurityImages 5.1.1, no need to upgrade!
