Title: Sanitize the plugin Last modified: September 2, 2016 --- # Sanitize the plugin * [mikes88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes88/) * (@mikes88) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/) * You need to sanitize the plugin. I was messing around with it and was able to inject a javascript into slimstat using the search field. You need to sanitize your script and fix the issue.

You may want to remember that I do all of this for free, and that the only reward is to get 5 stars for the work I do, so I think you can imagine how frustrating it is to see users like you, who come, trash my work and disappear 🙁 * [http://slimstat.duechiacchiere.it/contact-us/](http://slimstat.duechiacchiere.it/contact-us/) * Thank you Camu * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749082) * I was able to replicate the issue, and a patch has been added to version 3.0 😉 Contact me if you want to test it in advance and see if the problem is fixed. * Thank you, Camu * Thread Starter [mikes88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes88/) * (@mikes88) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749083) * Didnt realize i gave it 1 star until it was too late. sorry about that. The plugin is pretty decent but that was a huge security breach for malicious code. Not sure how to change the rating if i can. but i would give this plugin at least a 3.5 or 4 stars. * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749084) * Just click on the stars again 😉 As for the security breach, thank you for pointing that out, I will release the hotfix asap. Again, if you want to help me test it, feel free to contact me! * Best, Camu * Thread Starter [mikes88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes88/) * (@mikes88) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749085) * How long until the plugin will be avail for download? * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749087) * A few hours, I would say… * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749090) * Released. Test it and let me know how it goes. Please note that this is a temporary hotfix, version 3.0 will have a more robust code in place 😉 * Cheers, Camu * Thread Starter [mikes88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes88/) * (@mikes88) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749096) * i have the 2 files edited to fix the issue. is there an email i can send them too so you can compare the files? * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749098) * So you’re saying that version 2.9.5 doesn’t fix the problem for you? Contact me at the URL above, and I’ll get in touch with you * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749104) * Well? * Thread Starter [mikes88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes88/) * (@mikes88) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749105) * everything seems to be working. * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sanitize-the-plugin/#post-7749106) * Okay, thanks.
