use of eval() and create_function()

Hi,

Does any of your code make use of "dynamic functions" like eval() or create_function()? (CB, CBsubs, GV and add ons)

If so, is it in the back-end or in the front-end of the site?

Thanks

John

eval is used in CB Auto Actions if using a Code action with Method set to PHP eval mode. It's also used in CBSubs to evaluate some conditionals, but I don't know the specific usage. It's also use in CB it self for evaluating some conditions as well, but I don't know the specific usage either.

create_function is used quite a bit and by quite a few plugins.

I don't recommend disabling either of them. If you have to only disable eval.

Thanks Kyle,

I run a text search and found out that they were used indeed, however, i could not figure out if it was in the back-end or in the front-end.

Do you have the answer to that question?

Thanks

John

Believe mostly backend, but I can't be 100% sure.

If and when I find their exact file locations, in my completed site, would you be able to tell? this could save me a couple of days of work.

Thanks

CB loads various files for various API so probably not. Is there a reason it matters? Are you wanting to disable these functions on frontend, but not backend? Best I can suggest is just block them and see if everything works ok.
