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.

Thank you for being proactive about protecting the sites of your customers. It's just another reason why Siteground is amazing. I've hosted with many other companies in the past, but I plan to be with Siteground for a long time. Insane hosting service and exceptional support - keep it up!
