 * That issue was fixed in version 1.4.3, which was released on December 11th, 2012(
   almost a year ago). And, in fact, the file where the vulnerability existed is
   no longer present at all. The feature that it enabled will be removed in the 
   next major version of FSML as well.
 * (the solution on the advisory is to update to version 1.4.3, but it is not displayed
   prominently)

 * Thanks for the clarification – I did spot that and thought it was most likely
   resolved but was a little alarmed it was still being flagged despite the version
   number!
 * Better safe than sorry 🙂 Thanks a lot I’m glad to hear i don’t need to go off
   in search of another because it’s an epic plugin!
