 *  I have version 6.5.0.9 and get this warning on plugins page. This version contains
   a known vulnerability CVE-2026-49080. Updating the plugin to a version higher
   than 7.4 is strongly recommended. The full report is [here](https://research.cleantalk.org/reports/app/wpdatatables#434608).
   Have questions? Ask us [here](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/security-malware-firewall/).

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for reaching out.
 * We can confirm that CVE-2026-49080 only affected the Premium version of wpDataTables
   7.4 and was fixed in Premium version **7.4.1**.
 * The **free** wpDataTables Lite versions (including 6.5.0.9) do not include the
   SQL-related functionality involved in this vulnerability, so this issue does 
   not apply to Lite installations.
 * Security scanners and security plugins may flag all versions of a plugin family
   based on the plugin name and CVE record, even when the affected functionality
   exists only in specific editions. This can result in false-positive warnings 
   for Lite users.
 * Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
 * Kind regards,
   wpDataTables Support Team

 * Hi here,
 * Thank you for the clarification.
 * We found that our vulnerability database contained incorrect affected-version
   metadata for CVE-2026-49080. This caused wpDataTables Lite 6.5.0.9 to be flagged
   incorrectly.
 * We have corrected the record on our side, so this warning should no longer be
   triggered for wpDataTables Lite installations after the next database sync or
   scan refresh.
 * Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
 * Kind regards,
   CleanTalk Team

 * Hello Dmitrii,
 * Thank you for investigating this and for the update.
 * We appreciate you confirming that the warning was caused by incorrect affected-
   version metadata in the vulnerability database and that the record has now been
   corrected.
 * If anything else comes up, don’t hesitate to open a new post.
 * Kind regards,
   wpDataTables Support Team
