## Overview

|
|
([#1692](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/1692))
|
|
* API: Disable discontinued Google Spellcheck in TinyMCE. Replaced by browser-based spellchecking if available (Chrome, Firefox)

## Details
|
|
|
|
### Security: Require ADMIN for ?flush=1
|
|
|
|
Flushing the various manifests (class, template, config) is performed through a GET
|
|
parameter (`flush=1`). Since this action requires more server resources than normal requests,
|
|
it can facilitate [denial-of-service attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack).
|
|
|
|
To prevent this, main.php now checks and only allows the flush parameter in the following cases:
|
|
|
|
* The [environment](/topics/environment-management) is in "dev mode"
|
|
* A user is logged in with ADMIN permissions
|
|
* An error occurs during startup
|
|
|
|
This applies to both `flush=1` and `flush=all` (technically we only check for the existence of any parameter value)
|
|
but only through web requests made through main.php - CLI requests, or any other request that goes through
|
|
a custom start up script will still process all flush requests as normal.
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading
|
|
|
|
* If you have created your own composite database fields, then you should amend the setValue() to allow the passing of
|
|
an object (usually DataObject) as well as an array.
|
|
|
|
* If you have provided your own startup scripts (ones that include core/Core.php) that can be accessed via a web
|
|
request, you should ensure that you limit use of the flush parameter
