In the following file: htdocs\xoops_lib\modules\protector\include lines 5 to 8 neeed to be removed from precheck.inc.php
Post checking runs anyway, if a module intialised the database before the preloader fires for precheck.inc.php in most conditions XOOPS sits in a permant loop until memory limit is release or does WSOD.
Remove the following lines from precheck.inc.php
if( class_exists( 'Database' ) ) {
require dirname(FILE).'/postcheck.inc.php' ;
return ;
}
Just to be clear, you say "if a module intialised the database before the preloader fires for precheck.inc.php"
If a module is forcing the database init before protector precheck runs, it is opening a security hole. This sounds more like a bug in the module rather than protector. Since that triggers off of the core.include.common.start event, the database should not have been used before that point.
I found if a preloader initializes the database before the precheck fires it sits in a permanent loop. It's not really a security hole this part of the precheck is overkill as in most situations the condition it is check never exists.. When it does it sits in a permanent loop and the memory bloats till it crashes.
No the loop is caused by the preloader firing in circles with other calls with applications. I did a work around by not initialising the database before hand, which limited the application but this was just something I noted was the solution to the logic loop that forms!
