The following warning is just a warning.
Warning: Installing 3rd party extensions may compromise your server's
security. Upgrading your Joomla! installation will not update your 3rd
party extensions.
For more information on keeping your site secure, please see the Joomla! Security Forum.
You are of course free to install any extention you want onto your own site, but remember that only YOU are responsible for the safety of your site and the quality of the applications you install.
The vast majority of reported Joomla! vulnerabilities are through poorly written or obsolite versions of third party extensions that should not have been left on the server. Therefore, before installing anything, carefully evaluate the quality of the extension's code.
The Vulnerable Extensions list is an invaluable source of information on what NOT to install.Last Updated Saturday, 07 July 2007
