Hello: wpengine.com keeps reporting that the plugin wpDataTables - Tables & Table Charts has security risks.
The version that is installed is up-to-date and reports as version 3.4.2.20, yet the website reports the most recent version of the plugin is Version 6.6 (Released 24.07.2024.) --https://wpdatatables.com/help/whats-new-changelog/
Before I give up on the plugin, can you help me figure why this discrepancy exists?
This is a false positive since wpDataTables Lite and the full (premium) version of the plugin have the same slug (wpdatatables). The issue existed in the full version, prior to v6.4 while the Lite versions were never affected.
Since you have v3.4.2.20 it is registered as a version lower than 6.4, causing wpengine to see it as a version affected by the issue.
I assure you that there are no vulnerabilities in the Lite version and, if you purchase the premium version, it also will not be affected by this since the latest version of wpDataTables is v6.6
