Hi,

Same here. It seems linked to the 6.15.6 update.

First a request is ok (200):
[21/Aug/2025:12:10:20 +0200] "POST /index.php/415676 HTTP/1.1" 200 6031 " www.MYDOMAIN.ch/index.php/415676 " "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/139.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/139.0.0.0"
(I suppose this is where the survey is saved)

And immediately after, same but 403:
[21/Aug/2025:12:10:22 +0200] "POST /index.php/415676 HTTP/1.1" 403 5706 " www.MYDOMAIN.ch/index.php/415676 " "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/139.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/139.0.0.0"

(Nothing inbetween)

same here. without token (open access) worked. With open and a member list or closed and member list we get 403, but the answer is saved.

Here two Stacktraces:

If I got it right, version 6.15.7 fixes the problem, but it still is not available in comfortUpdate.

Thanks for this information. How long does it takes to this this version with comfort-update?

Usually the versions come out once a week (if I recall right Tuesday or something). However, generally, if there is a show stopper bug like this, I would expect this new version to be pushed out asap.

Does anyone have a link to a bug report for this?

I found this here and the poster says he/she is running 6.15.7, so it doesn't seem to be fixed with 6.15.7:

bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=20235

Where did you hear that 6.15.7 fixes this?

I didn't find any other bug report regarding this.

I would suggest to add your observations to this bug report, or if you feel like your case is different open another bug report.

Developers rarely show up here in the forum, therefore bug reports are extremely important.

From what I have seen, so far no one from the developer team has had a look at this. I think the more people contribute, the more exposure / importance this gets. However, August in Germany is often slow and a good portion of the team might actually be on vacation...

Also, if you are paying clients of the Limesurvey GmbH (hosted SaaS version), you can create a support ticket, which might get attention even quicker than a bug report.

Not sure if this would be considered an issue with Comfort Update. If so, as a paying customer of Comfort Update you might also create a support ticket. But this of course is up for interpretation, if this is a Comfort Update issue or not.

Seen this here:
installatron.com/updatefeed/limesurvey_6_15_7

And here:
www.softaculous.com/news/scripts/updated...to-6-15-7-36847.html

How could one runs 6.15.7 if it is not released ? ;*)

Bug 20222 seems to say the 6.15.7 fixes the problem too:

Because it IS released.

Have a look at community.limesurvey.org/downloads/ .

And it is actually also available in Comfort Update, at least for me:
