We just had a 909 site that was messed up because someone accessed the Install/Default/Upgrade folder and ran an upgrade. I think I remember something in a newer version about removing that folder? Anyway, I checked a couple of other sites that I know of and that upgrade path was available on them, even though I wasn't logged in as an admin. I think it would be good for you to send out a notification to customers about this- someone has obviously figured out this way of breaking a site. In AC Gold, there had been a warning on the dashboard about removing that folder.

Hi Judy,

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

I can confirm the issue, and yes, please rename or move the folder to a location outside of the website root until we can provide a fix.

Thank you for letting us know.
Thanks for your support!
