The PivotX team reports:

TimThumb domain name security bypass and insecure cache handling. PivotX before 2.3.0 includes a vulnerable version of TimThumb.

If you are still running PivotX 2.2.6, you might be vulnerable to a security exploit, that was patched previously. Version 2.3.0 doesn't have this issue, but any older version of PivotX might be vulnerable.
