Well, let’s put it simply, no other plugin does what it does. When will you launch a “fixed” (patchstack warned me about it) version of this plugin? I see a few other posts on the plugin support page are asking for an update due to the known vulnerability. I’m guessing the plug-in is no longer supported. A quick scan on this support page shows that none of the support questions have been answered for months. Pat M. Wordpress.org says this plugin has over 100,000 installs! Hopefully someone smart can take a look at this and maybe tell us all to change one line of code to secure the vulnerability until an official change can be made!? Thanks for your patience, see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-vulnerability-fix-in-progress/ Update complete! Thanks for your patience.
