Release Summary
* NOTE: For vBulletin vulnerability CVE-2019-16759 two rules have been added: the “Strict” version of the rule will provide full protection against this CVE but may prevent use of some vBulletin features. The “Less Strict” version of the rule should not hinder functionality and still provide decent protection, but full protection against attacks exploiting this CVE when using this version of the rule cannot be guaranteed due to the specifics of this vulnerability.
