    I got this notice from Wordfence about attacks blocked for ‘SQL Injection in query string’ in various NextGen galleries on our site. I’ve read articles saying that NextGen has addressed SQL Injection issues, but since this came up, I thought I’d ask about it. Is this something NextGen needs to fix?
