    I found this info on the DotNetNuke site, it recommends that you upgrade to the latest point release for 3.3 and 4.3 as a severe  security issue has been found - details below

    Published: August 02, 2006

    Version: 1.0

    Maximum Severity Rating: Critical

    Background

    For the 3.3.3/4.3.3 releases of DotNetNuke, the membership/roles/provider components were significantly overhauled to allow better granularity of control, and to allow us to make a number of enhancements.

    Issue Summary

    During the process of rewriting the code to extend the Profile component, an authorization issue was introduced that could allow a user (including anonymous users) to access another users profile.
    Due to the seriousness of this issue, further details are not available, users of 3.3.3/4.3.3 are recommended to upgrade to 3.3.4/4.3.4.
