Anonymous Spam after upgrade to K5.1 was created by mibert

Hi there,

After upgrade to Kunena 5.1.0yesterday, I am facing Anonymous advertisement posts.
Although my forum is set to "Public writing = No" still there are replies with Anonymous user and no profile link.

I have not changed any setting after my update to Kunena 5.1.0 and I have never faced this issue with any previous version of the Forum software. The strange point is, that this users POST requests are resulting in a 303 Error, but are still shown in the forum.

GET /index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=13&id=77839&Itemid=2592&limitstart=10 HTTP/1.1
POST /index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=2592 HTTP/1.1

I hope that there is a quick fix to this issue, as otherwise my forum may be flooded with this kind of posts:

Today I have filtered the IP but it will just be a temporary help.

Thanks in advance and have a great weekend

Michael

Hi 810,

here you go:
