# 3.0.6 (Not yet released)
## Overview
* Security: Require ADMIN for `?flush=1` (stop denial of service attacks)
([#1692](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/1692))
## Details
### Security: Require ADMIN for ?flush=1 (SS-2013-001)
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.
### Security: Privilege escalation through Group hierarchy setting (SS-2013-003)
See [announcement](http://www.silverstripe.org/ss-2013-003-privilege-escalation-through-group-hierarchy-setting/)
### Security: Privilege escalation through Group and Member CSV upload (SS-2013-004)
See [announcement](http://www.silverstripe.org/ss-2013-004-privilege-escalation-through-group-and-member-csv-upload/)
## 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
* Translation entity namespaces can no longer contain dots, since it conflicts with the YAML format.
* Translation entities defined in templates now use their fully qualified entity name without dots.
Before: `BackLink_Button.ss.Back`, after `BackLink_Button_ss.Back`. Please fix any custom language
files or uses of those entities in custom code.
* If using "Māori/Te Reo" (mi_NZ) as your CMS locale, please re-select it in `admin/myprofile`
to ensure correct operation (it has changed its locale identifier)
