On Feb 28th. The BadgeOS plugin and all its add-ons will be removed from UBC CMS.
Reason for Removal
After careful review, we have decided not to continue supporting the BadgeOS plugin. This decision is based on the security vulnerabilities the plugin currently expose and the author of the plugin has not been updated the plugin for 2 years.
Removal Timeline
We sent emails to site administrators in January 2025 regarding the removal of the BadgeOS plugin to ensure they were aware of this change and could take appropriate action. The plugin is scheduled for removal on February 28, 2025.
