Apparently Secunia PSI is a Windows package, so you would most likely need the current Gimp windows build. What Gimp version did you install?

Same problem happens with other programs that use older gtk+ (inkscape, wireshark...). I just set PSI to ignore them.

Is there any way to replace the version installed by Gimp with the latest one?

Not really.

Will the next release of Gimp have an up-to-date version of GTK?

We'll wait and see. :)
