ubbt.inc.php has been updated in each upgrade since 6.2. Not sure if it'll cause or fix problems if you replaced that file. That's really the only changed file. But you could try replacing that file if you don't have time for the full upgrade path.

Yeah, I didn't think it was wise to publish the details..... as infopop didn't. Some people run outdated copies, and probably not a good idea to show open doors.

But if you don't upgrade your site to 6.2.3, one of us may use the exploit to hack you.

This update is easy but I don't know how I should handle the update to 6.3 with all the hacks I installed.
If there are guys working on the beta test it would be nice to check out which hacks are also working with 6.3 and which not. Rick has made some major changes and this will make updates hard!

No.. you should upgrade regardless if you are using cookies or sessions.
