Fahad Ashraf aka XenBulletins Banned On XenForo

[Oblivion Knight]

Thankfully I never hired him for development, nor bought any of his add-ons. Just a few of the things he said and did seemed sketchy, and angered me.. The outcome was inevitable, just a shame that it didn't happen a bit sooner.

Buyer beware, always do your research.

A bit of a bump but I would urge anyone who has had any of Fahad Ashraf's code on their server to take note of this...

XF 2.2 - xenforo developer may have added an exploit file

so i hired a dev on fiverr to make me an addon, it took way to long to complete by the time frame so i fired him, then some time later re-hired him to actually finish it, garbage work was done, but apparently he may or may not have uploaded a file named xf.php in...

xenforo.com

Yikes if he added a backdoor recently, it wouldn't surprise me if he continued to do so. I would hope no one is using any of his plugins especially after being banned from Xenforo a few years ago.

Agreed, caveat emptor being what it is, and to use Bob's good name on Fiverr to exploit his reputation for clients. How pathetic.

I wouldn't expect anything less from that Dev; there are only a few Xenforo Devs left that I would use anyhow.
Folks really need to do their research on Devs before doing business with them.

Using a XenForo dev from a hiring gig on Fiverr has always sounded like such a bad idea to me.

Does anyone have an addon list of this person?

I cant say whether or not I need to be concerned.
