Security Vulnerability

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you’ve had a generally positive experience with our plugin, aside from this security concern.

Regarding the issue you reported, we have received similar feedback from another user, and we’d like to assure you that there is no cause for alarm.

As shown in the following report screenshot, it states that vulnerability was found in the?premium?version of wpDataTables version?6.3.1, so that specific premium version and the ones before that can be affected.

The Lite version of our Plugin does not have these functionalities (such as SQL based tables), so Lite version was never affected.
Those reports are not related to the Lite version, but they can be reported in the lite version because the resources where this information about themes or plugins vulnerabilities are stored are generated by the theme or the plugin slug. Those slugs are the same in both lite and the full version, and because of that, you get those notifications.

The important thing is that there’s nothing to worry about. Newer versions of the wpDataTable premium don’t have these issues, ( the latest one at the time of this reply is 6.7.1) and our Lite plugin versions never did.

Unfortunately, until wpDataTables Lite goes above version 6.3.1 these reports will indicate a false positive. The lite and the full version have the same slug (wpdatatables), and that’s why the security plugins can’t differentiate between the versions.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We’d also greatly appreciate it if you would consider updating your review in light of this clarification, as the Lite version remains secure and unaffected and the premium version was fixed in the newer versions.

Thank you.
