CodeIgniter 2.2.6 Released

CodeIgniter 2.2.6 has been released today, and is a security release for the 2.x branch.

• Fixed an XSS attack vector in Security Library method xss_clean().
  
• Changed Config Library method base_url() to fallback to ``$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']`` in order to avoid Host header injections.
  
• Changed CAPTCHA Helper to try to use the operating system's PRNG first.
  

Since most have moved on to the development version of 3.0 from the GitHub repo, these fixes only affect sites powered by the legacy version.We felt that sites who were still running 2.x and potentially impacted by the vulnerability warranted an update so the release available for that version line is secure.

You can download v2.2.6 now, and we encourage you to read the full changelog.

This is the last planned update for CodeIgniter 2, which has reached end-of-life.

It's a little late for that, you should be using 3.x already.

Thanks
