How to Recover from Joomla!1.0.13 CB hazard to 1.0.12

| For who just accidentally update to 1.0.13 (or fool enough, like me!) You should read the warning on the first page. But if it's the case you won't be reading this article right now.
The new 1.0.13 patch really cause the problem with cblogin module. Once login user can not login again from the front end.
You must know that this process quite a burden in case that you already got lot of users on your site, and even harder if they're quite active. Anyway it's my live saver.
So here's how i do it.
- Take your site OFFLINE, so no one may login and causes you more problem.
- Apply this REVERT PATCH I made.
- Now, take a deep breath, you must alter the MySQL database with phpMyAdmin or any other similar
program. Log in to MySQL and open the database that joomla is
installed.
- Browse table 'jos_users', you should see that password field of some
user are longer than others. These fields are already altered by 1.0.13
Another way to make sure of it is by spotting the color sign ":" in the password field.
- So what you can do about it? You can change it to something that you know. Let's try to change it to the word "PASSWORD" (Notes that it all capital letter).
The encoded password for the word PASSWORD is "319f4d26e3c536b5dd871bb2c52e3178" without quotes. copy and paste it to EVERY password field that has been altered.
- You should also list all username that you edited. Then inform every users that their password has to be change via email or some other way,
so they can use new password to login and change it to what they want.
- When you sure that everyone is informed, you can take your site ONLINE again.
That's it. |

Instead of editing each user manually, try this
Code:
UPDATE jos_users SET password = '319f4d26e3c536b5dd871bb2c52e3178' WHERE password LIKE '%:%';
And then to get a list of users that have been effected just use
Code:
SELECT name,email FROM jos_users WHERE password LIKE '319f4d26e3c536b5dd871bb2c52e3178';
