Curious indeed. I run WordFence on all of the 50 websites I host and maintain, so I contacted WordFence support to see if they know anything about what’s going on with this plugin. As of yesterday, they knew nothing about it. I suppose that’s sort of good news in that if it was a security issue, the WordFence team would probably be reporting it. Sure wish the developer would fill us in on what’s going on.
True! But still curious as there must be a reason for the withdrawal of the plugin. Hopefully the author will respond.
Well the plugin is back. Guess whatever issue they were having was resolved, and I see there’s a new version. Thank goodness!
Yep:
“2.1.3
* 2021-04-14 remove – unnecessary css library file removed
* 2021-04-14 fix – security issue updated.
2.1.2
* 2021-04-13 fix – security issue updated.”
So a good thing I removed the plugin in the meantime! :/
Still curious what the security fix has been, because then we can look for the tracks of a possible hack.
