 * Hello,
    The vulnerability was found in the full version of wpDataTables v3.4.1,
   so all premium versions before that can be affected.
 * Lite version 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 is 4.5)
 * and Lite versions never did.
    – If you have a premium version, simply update 
   the plugin and it should be fine. ( but if you have Lite version, no need to 
   worry) If you still have the issue after that, please open a ticket on our Support
   platform here [https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/](https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/)
   and our Agents can help you in more details. I hope this helps, do let us know
   if you need any further assistance.
