SECURITY ISSUE RESOLVED
You can now freely apply for your own VCMP server hosting without any worries of security because we have fixed our security issues. All server files are now safely isolated from each other, so a server would not be able to access other servers' files. If you discover any issue, security-related or otherwise, feel free to open a support ticket at https://cloudwards.es/.

Regards,
Flake

A hacker? No.
Someone who accidentally stumbles upon an exploit, though? Probably.

neva, I'd still like to exploit it, but seeing the scripting skills of VCMP's nerds, I guess a hacker would still tell you about it lol
oh no

I'm pleased to inform you that we've released a new hosting location. Now you may choose USA as a hosting location for your gaming servers. We will soon release more hosting locations.

  • Germany - Expected start of March
  • India (Mumbai/Delhi - Expected mid of March
  • Singapore - Expected start of April
New hosting locations will be available for choice in the VC:MP application which will be frequently updated with new hosting location options. Our France hosting location is the most powerful so we prefer you to choose it, but our other hosting locations will still provide a good standard of gaming.

A message to clients: You may create a support ticket using the "Support" page located in the Navigation bar to request a change of host location.

It's our pleasure to serve you.

I'm interested in the servers you're using. Can you post some specs?

Quote from: EK.IceFlake on Feb 20, 2017, 11:35 AMI wonder how else we somehow managed to detect a very dangerous exploit.

When you find a bug in your own software that isn't used by more than 1 guy (meaning there's no other guy to do any harm) you don't go out and brag about it. Because that's equivalent to saying "Don't use our services if you value your safety.".

I know that you're trying to look professional and what not. But you ended up being the opposite of professional. Serious service providers try their best to not let other people know their stuff is vulnerable.

Because where there's a vulnerability there's bound be more. And you just made an open invitation for others to look for them.
own software?
We're using Open Game Panel.

I bet the error was file permissions on the server itself, and had nothing to do with the panel.

The error was that Open Game Panel loves to start every server using the ogpbot user.

And ogpbot needs to be a sudo user and when server runs on a sudo user....
I dont need to explain more of common sense.
