It's an old file, from back in the <4.* days. I find it very hard to believe that they would take a secure, working file and replace it with such a massive security hole - so there's every reason to assume that all WHMCS versions are affected.

This moron. I worked for Fran voluntarily for years - he had to force me to start accepting wages. We're practically family - it's never been about the money.
