Admin console is insecure since 6 months

Hello,

quite disturbing… and I dont think it affects only the free version.

Did Ignite Realtime already communicate on this ? If not the trust is gone…

Folks,

I would disallow access to the admin console from external IPs via firewall. It appears this would be a good work around for these types of vulnerabilities?
