NextGEN Vulnerability Patched on SiteGround Hosting

Yesterday, our partners from Sucuri discovered a serious SQL injection vulnerability in one of the most popular WordPress gallery plugins – NextGen Gallery. Our security team started working immediately on the issue and created a rule in our web application firewall (WAF) to block any potential attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, we strongly recommend that all NextGen Gallery users update their plugin to version 2.1.79 which fixes the core of the issue in the plugin code.
