    Hi Team,

    I have seen the upgrade security warning in my plugins section – advising to upgrade to version 1.6.19.

    I am using version 1.6.17, does this version require the update? currently I am not a full member and cannot update the core as I would be unable to update the plugins, I know from last week everything has to be updated to work.

    Thanks as always.

    We were alerted by wp.org that a library we use for wp_sessions had discovered a vulnerability that could expose the users session id, we were advised to patch it or be removed, its a very popular lib, used i think by EDD and woo also.

    You can see the changes needed here: https://github.com/GeoDirectory/geodirectory/commit/28481dc83ae4cbafbe9a2bdc7cfa0df6e24a5d48

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
