 * I keep getting notifications that site scan found an issue. Here’s the message:
   
   Admin Columns Free < 4.3 & Pro < 5.5.1 – Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting(
   XSS) in Label
 * I use the Admin Columns plugin on many sites, but I’m only getting the error 
   on one. I removed the plugin and cleared my cache, and I continue to get the 
   error.
 * What should I do?

 * Ignore it. Probably a caching issue (despite clearing cache).
 * Just make sure you use the 4.3 (or higher) release of the (free) Admin Columns
   plugin.
 * You can read more details about the plugin vulnerability [here](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/vulnerability-database/CVE-2021-24366).
