 * Hello,
   Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response 
   as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry 
   that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience
   is highly appreciated.In regards to the issue, we can see from the report, it
   states that vulnerability was found in the **premium **version of wpDataTables
   version **6.3.1**, so that 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.
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/ticksy_attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/4246932876.png?ssl=
   1)
 * 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.
 * I hope this helps, let us know if anything is unclear.
 * Thank you.
