I suggest you delete all the versions and change your ftp password.
Fusion 9 has compromised your site security.

Correct...

Also - to all users... please DO NOT post your version manager links or
give specifics on your site until this vunerability it fixed.

In fact I would just hold off on posting ANY versioning questions for

ugh. Security leak!
Could one just "Protect" the "_versioning_repository_" folder with
...htaccess temporarily until a better fix is found?

try hitting:

http://www.tmbwebdesigns.com/test/_v...ollbackLOG.XML

then try: http://www.tmbwebdesigns.com/test/
_versioning_repository_/3.ZIP

you will then see how this relates to Ian's description
