I get a 404 error when I try something like that.

Have you encrypted your website? I'll run some more tests and see if I can replicate the situation.

Thanks for the heads up on this thread Cristián.

This major security issue has been resolved in the release of s2Member v110812.
Please see this update for details: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=14419

IMPORTANT: This release addresses an important security vulnerability in previous releases of the s2Member Framework ( i.e. the free version of s2Member ).
