As many are aware if you have SUPEE 1533 installed you cannot install SUPEE 8788.
I figured that Reversing/uninstalling Supee 1533, we can install SUPEE 8788. But, then we cannot install SUPEE 1533 back. How to approach ? Should we forget about installing SUPEE 1533 after we install SUPEE 8788? Or should we manually modify the
Original DashboardController.php (1.7.0.2- Not pached, Fresh from magento)
if ($params = unserialize(base64_decode(urldecode($gaData)))) {
1533 Patched DashboardController.php contains the following change
if ($newHash == $gaHash) {
$params = json_decode(base64_decode(urldecode($gaData)), true);
if ($params) {
8788 patch makes the following change in DashboardController.php
if (hash_equals($newHash, $gaHash)) {
if ($params = unserialize(base64_decode(urldecode($gaData)))) {
As you can see 8788 has a modified change compared to 1533 so as other suggest its not ideal to manually replace 8788 change with 1533 after installing 8788.
Any suggestions?
