The files are protected; but I don't think that means the vulnerabilities are fixed. What's your read on this?

>>>Found this interesting XML attack against Python:
>>>https://pypi.python.org/pypi/defusedxml
>>>
>>>Curious if VFP's native XML functions have any vulnerabilities?
>>
>>VFP ships with MDAC 2.6. Any MDAC before 2.8 is subject to a host of vulnerabilities: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms06-014

>Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Component Checker which will verify your MDAC version. When I ran the program it gave me this message:

>Component Checker is not supported on Windows Vista and later
