Important Note: While this was compiled against API 7.0.0, you actually have to be using 7.3.0. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Changelog copied and pasted from our SpigotMC resource page, below:

(!) SECURITY EXPLOIT PATCH (!)

This version contains a security exploit fix in which proxy ip’s can be exploited using skinurl. A change has been made to only allow imgur, (and some other domains).

About the exploit

Since we validate a image before sending it to our api, this can cause security issues like leaking ip’s. This patch will be put in place till the api validate the image instead of us.

Upcoming api changes

In the next majour release (v14) we will make breaking changes to the api. If you’re using our api, make sure to check and make changes before we release it.

A new Dev appeared!

Pistonmaster has been working hard to improve skinsrestorer. He already cut the jar file size by more than 60%! He is working hard to clean up the code, and improving performance! Big shoutout to Pistonmaster for helping us out.

All changes:

  • fixed a exploit that could leak your servr ip (By Pistonmaster)
  • smaller wiki links

Summary

Small release to fix a lot of bugs with universal commands and other quality of life stuff. List of changes:

  • Fix commands like createcustom and applyskin and other command stuff
  • Fix skin GUI payload error
  • Status checks run now async!
  • The terminal now should display colours on more versions, thanks to new ANSI support.
  • Fix potential name trimming bug
  • The MultiBungee config option has been removed.
    You will now find a ForwardTextures: true in the config that is enabled by default. This setting is enabled by default to keep the backend server skin data synced. This allows plugins to use the skin data, set by SkinsRestorer, on the backend server directly. Also fixes bugs with BungeeCord online mode and should always be on for RedisBungee setups.
  • Added a fix for version numbers in edge cases for our updater.
