The vulnerability affects versions of the software originally distributed by ConfigServer, as well as versions of the WebPros-maintained fork that contain the vulnerable code. WebPros has addressed the vulnerability in version 16.30. Other forks or independently maintained versions of ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) may also be affected and should be evaluated independently.
