Somewhat related, I hope. I discovered that if you are using the Unified Installer mod pack and host a 4.08m co-op (using the version switcher supplied with Unified Installer), mod-enabled folks can join your mission. Even though the version the host is using is 4.08m standard.
Here's what happened: I hosted a mission using Fw-190's for a navigation exercise. I ensured only the 190's were human flyable, but there were a few Yak-9's and Tu-2's in the mission as a distraction for the humans doing their navigation exercise. One pilot joined who had not yet switched back to 4.08m from a modded version (not sure which). That pilot saw only gunner seats for the Tu-2's in the aircraft selection area. He re-joined after switching back to 4.08m and was able to see/select/fly a 190. I had "crt=2" set (for what good it does), but was amazed that a modded player was able to join anyway.
I tried hosting the same mission under a clean 4.08m (no mods, no Unified Installer, box stock) and with crt=2 set. A mod-enabled player was quickly booted from my server. This tells me that using the Unified Installer and having switched to 4.08m there is still a 'back door' for modded players to join. This is most disconcerting to me...
