We\u2019re very proud of our internal WAF (Web Application Firewall) system that protects all SiteGround shared and cloud servers. It allows us to dynamically add different rules across our network and block hacking attempts. The moment we got notified about the issue with the YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin, our security team started working on the case. We\u2019ve managed to come up with a rule, that shields you against potential attacks utilizing this vulnerability. Although this does not patch the problem in its core, we\u2019ve added protection against those, who try to utilize it. This said, we urge you to update to the latest plugin version, which includes the official patch for this vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n
