I have many sites and till recently I was not aware that few of my sites still had this outdated TimThumb version that had security issues. Luckily Google Webmaster tools are warning about outdated themes, frameworks, etc.

I just scanned by site using the TimThumb Vulnerability Scanner and found the timthumb script was out of date which i updated using this plugin.
All my other sites on another server where all exploited because i hadn’t updated all my plugins and themes
This is really good to know, thanks.
I suppose there is reasoning behind Google’s notices to update CMS versions in Google Webmaster Tools.

I don’t see how anyone can not want to fix their site to cover a vulnerability like this.
Not doing it can only leave you open to bad things.
