Possible Security Issue was created by sji852
I had an issue on my Joomla 1.5.26 site where somehow someone was able to register and enable themselves on my site even though I have the moderator module working correctly. Is there anything I should check in community builder for settings. Another thought was change all the main people's account passwords for joomla.

Difficult to respond to such a post which doesn't give detailed information.

For example:

What CB version?
Did you follow installation instructions?

When viewing (in CB User manager) the users that you claim bypassed the moderation, what do you see?

DO you see red X next in their rows?

Enabled was green checkmark even though I have confirmation on. I have already deleted the user. But I also had a picture match captcha for Community Builder.

I am guessing that users are registering via joomla and not CB ... maybe you did not turn off Joomla registration.

Please read the installation guide again and the readme files.
