 * Could it be that an incorrect security vulnerability message was sent? I received
   a warning “The plugin “PressApps Knowledge Base” has a security vulnerability.”
   but the vulnerability actually refers to an additional plugin for this plugin.
   Or did I get something wrong?
 * Thanks in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffalse-positive-for-pressapps-knowledge-base%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@pettersson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pettersson/), thanks for
   getting in touch.
 * Yes, the PressApps Knowledge Base Contextual Sidebar Addon for PressApps Knowledge
   Base is the source of the issue but the code is likely to have been included 
   and just activates upon purchase. The plugin will be flagged until the developer
   submits a fix and verifies it with [Patchstack](https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/pressapps-knowledge-base/vulnerability/wordpress-pressapps-knowledge-base-contextual-sidebar-addon-plugin-4-2-1-php-object-injection-vulnerability),
   who originally reported the issue.
 * Many thanks,
   Peter.
