Airscanner have been rather busy recently and have identified a total of four products for the WM2003 platform which have security vulnerabilites.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before this platform would start to give rise the same problems its older siblings suffer from - at least this time it's the third party products rather than the O/S itself.
Below are the summaries, click on the headings for the full details on the Airscanner website.
