-
Determine installed RSGallery2 versionExamine the RSGallery2 version file. Common locations include: /components/com_rsgallery2/version.php or /administrator/components/com_rsgallery2/version.php. Look for a variable defining the component version.Affected if The installed version is 1.11.2_alpha or lower, or matches any of these: 1.9.4_alpha, 1.9.5_alpha, 1.10.1_alpha, 1.10.2_alpha, 1.10.3_alpha, 1.10.4_alpha, 1.10.5_alpha, 1.10.6_alpha, 1.10.7_alpha, 1.10.8_alpha, or 1.10.9_alpha
-
