3.13.1 version released
Monitorix 3.13.0 allows remote attackers to bypass Basic Authentication (if enabled) in a default installation (i.e., an installation without a hosts_deny option).

3.11.0 version released
This new version introduces two new graphs and improves clearly an old one: the System graph. After a notable people demand, I've included a new graph to monitor IPMI sensors (temperatures, fans and voltages).

3.10.1 version released
Prior Monitorix versions are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS), caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the monitorix.cgi file. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using some of the arguments provided (graph= or when=) in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is…

It was created using the Varnish version 3.0.6, so I hope it will be also compatible with the new 4.0 version. The second graph covers the Verlihub statistics and was developed and provided by an external user. [...]
