alex at evuln said vendor fixed, but the acknowledgement was too vague, so I
double-checked with the vendor.

vendor responded within minutes of my initial request.

To the best of my knowledge YES the issue is fixed. I did this using
whitelist data entry testing. If any character that is not valid input is
in the URL calling the script the script aborts with an error message.

But - the only way for you to be sure of this is for you to test the
script yourself. You should never trust anything you download from the
internet.
