Critical security issue fixed
Matomo 1.5 also contains a fix for a security issue that was disclosed to us as part of our Security bug bounty program. The security bug is rated critical. In the default configuration of users logging in to see their reports, Matomo is not affected by this issue. But when the anonymous user has some access to reports that the Matomo server could be compromised using arbitrary code execution..
We would like to thank Neal Poole for his responsible disclosure of the security bug. Neal is the first researcher to win the $500 bounty. Thanks to Neal for making Matomo safer and better!
Ecommerce Analytics for FREE!
The e-Commerce functionality in Matomo v1.5 came as a result of consulting with Jirafe, an ecommerce analytics company, over the last few months. Jirafe uses Matomo as their analytics engine, and deeply integrates their analytics service inside of popular ecommerce platforms like Magento and provides an ecommerce dashboard to these platforms. They have been sponsoring all of the ecommerce functionality that you now see in Matomo. We hope that they continue to sponsor new features for the Matomo community!
