 * Recently, WordPress volunteers have been testing plugins for security vulnerabilities.
   This plugin was flagged for a critical issue that occurs as follows:
 * **You are an administrator or editor who has injected scripts in the guest author
   description field that puts your users at risk. If this is you, this plugin can
   no longer be used for this purpose. **
 * This is the same issue that is causing multiple plugins to be flagged for security
   issues. It is very important that these issues be resolved even though it may
   cause temporary inconvenience.
 * If you would like to contribute to this effort, I believe that there may be cash
   awards for finding vulnerabilities. We hope that this effort will make WordPress
   sites safer for the internet.
