 * Brand new WordPress plugins are [supposed to go through a security review](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-developer-faq/#what-happens-after-submission)
   before being allowed in the Plugin Directory, but at this plugin shows, that 
   isn’t happening or isn’t very good as there is any easy to spot [authenticated PHP object injection vulnerability in the plugin](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2019/03/12/brand-new-wordpress-plugin-by-automattic-includes-authenticated-php-object-injection-vulnerability/).
   We have long offered to help get the review process improved, so that doesn’t
   happen anymore, but we have had not seen any interest in that. Why don’t the 
   people that run the review process (and also run the moderation of this forum)
   want to actually deal with the problems with what they are doing?

 * Thank you for your automatic verification.
    We are grateful for indicating the
   error in the authors of the plugin. The security issue found automatically is
   not relevant. But we are anyway grateful for the check. You make the WordPress
   community better.
