A critical exploit has been found in the open source CMS, <a href="http://www.e107.org">e107</a>.
The e107 team is asking that if you know someone who is running the system or if you are running it, you upgrade immediately to prevent any potential security issues from arising.
From the announcement:
<blockquote>
We were recently informed of a very nasty exploit that, as far as we can see, affects almost all e107 0.7 releases. Everyone running e107 needs to get their sites updated as soon as possible. If you are a site owner and you are unable to upgrade for some reason (too much hacked core code), please contact me directly and I can help you with a quick-fix.
Please get the word out to all other e107ers. If you find an e107 site out there, post on their site somewhere about this upgrade.
We have also included an automatic update check in this release. It was in previous ones, but was based of sourceforge's rss feed, which they apparently don't want to fix. The new code will now check a file on e107.org, which will always contain the most recent e107 release information. If there is an update available, you should see a notice on your main admin screen. Depending on your admin theme, it may also appear in the left column of all admin pages.

The first alpha release of Drupal 7.x has been made available for testing.
Drupal is one of the most popular and largest community based open source content management systems available today.
The 7.x series promises some interesting changes to the CMS.
Here are a few of the changes that can be expected:
<dl> </dl>
<h4>Revamped User Interface</h4>
An incredible amount of work has gone into improving the user experience and administration interface. The new administration theme “Seven”, the overlay module, the dashboard and the configurable shortcut bar, all lead to a much more user-friendly interface. In-place editing is enabled for blocks and nodes by default, so modifying the content of a site becomes much simpler.
<h4>Custom Fields</h4>
Drupal 7 bundles in the ability to add custom fields, similar in functionality to the Content Construction Kit (CCK) module. However, fields are no longer limited only to content types; they can be added to users, taxonomy terms, and other entities. Fields also have support for translations.
<h4>Image Handling</h4>
Drupal 7 brings native image handling to core. Image fields may be added to content, and have image styles applied to them, such as scaling, cropping, and other effects.
<h4>Update Manager</h4>
Building on Drupal 6's Update module, which keeps site administrators informed when new module and theme releases are available, the new Update Manger module can also install and upgrade modules and themes.
<h4>Front-end “under-the-hood” improvements</h4>
A new render API allows for highly granular theming, core template files have been revamped to provide more semantic markup, Drupal 7 now has built-in RDFa support, includes jQuery UI and a new AJAX framework, and a new core theme “Stark” which exposes Drupal's markup directly for those who want to dive in and start theming.
In addition, Drupal 7 has several major accessibility enhancements, making it the most accessible release of Drupal to date!
<h4>Back-end “under-the-hood” improvements</h4>
A revamped database layer resolving nearly all limitations in the Drupal 6 database layer, automated testing framework, new PHP stream-based file API that supports private and public files simultaneously, revamped node access system, new hooks for more flexible system interaction, an Entity API, a job queue API, and many, many, many more improvements.

Edentity Web Systems today announced the launch of the January iteration of the <a href="http://www.agilitycms.com">Agility Content Management system</a>.  Each month, a new version of Agility is made available to users with upgrades and improvements to the software-as-a-service CMS.  This month’s release was focused on user generated content updates.  It includes 10 new features and resolves about 100 minor issues.
Aspects of this specific update include the ability to customize user generated content, such as adding comments or video, with moderation.  This allows users to track which comments or videos are being added to their sites, and ensure that spam and unfiltered material does not get through.  Minor updates include picture resizing, re-publishing from an unpublished list, and the option to copy fields across multiple languages.
The user generated content enhancements allow for automatic conversion of video to Flash, and automatic uploading of videos to YouTube.  The same functionality applies to photos for Flickr, a commonly used site for sharing photos.  Both of these updates will make it easier for users to share content and media from the website, to help foster a sense of community and to increase repeat traffic to the site.
Social Networking aspects were also improved.  Enhancements such as streamlined publishing to mobile sites, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and YouTube channels will vastly improve the site’s views and following. Support for “Facebook Connect” has been improved so that users are able to log in to a site with their Facebook credentials and tie their profile to the site.
Michael Assad, CEO of Edentity, says, “Our agency clients continue to request features related to user generated content and multi-platform publish and our latest release delivers.  We are already building sites for prominent brands using this technology and there are some exciting announcements coming this quarter.”

The Alfresco open source RM module (available in February 2010 via the Alfresco Enterprise Subscription as a separate module) will enable companies to manage all document content with retention ranging from lightweight to 5015.2-compliant in a single repository, at a fraction of the cost of traditional RM solutions.</li>
<li>IMAP support for email client access &amp; email archiving – Simple ‘drag and drop’ support allows users to share key email messages with colleagues and team members. Unique transparent IMAP standard protocol support provides full access to repository services without a client install and can be accessed from mobile devices.</li>

<li>Storage policies – Alfresco enables organizations to manage the physical storage location for content based on business polices as part of an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) strategy. This allows content to be automatically stored and moved between storage subsystems based on its business value, governance and compliance requirements and relative storage costs.</li>

Kentico CMS version 5.0 was <a href="http://devnet.kentico.com/Blogs/Petr-Palas/December-2009/Kentico-CMS-5-0-Released.aspx">released</a> on December 23, 2009 and this is no small update.
The developer team have worked hard to integrate enterprise level functionality into this release and according to the changes, they've left no stone unturned.
This new release has been optimized to handle 1,000,000 users and 100,000 documents in the database as well and also allows for SQL server replication which is something that was missing in previous releases. This means you can now copy your database and run it over multiple servers to increase performance. This is a very welcome change.
In order to allow for maximum user acceptance and adoption, they have also integrated a new option that allows administrators to adjust the view based on roles. What this means is that users who do not have certain functions within the system, will simply not see those menus at all which reduces confusion and complexity and increases comfort levels.
A good examples of this functionality is shown in this screenshot:

That's really only the tip of the iceberg as far as changes go. A full list of the most exciting improvements is below:
<ul>
<li>Introduction of widgets (web parts)</li>
<li>New design with the ability to create your own skins</li>
<li>Active Directory import utility</li>
<li>Drag and drop functionality in the content tree</li>
<li>Side-by-side comparison of document versions</li>
<li>and many more…</li>
</ul>
