 * After installing the plugin, VaultPress has alerted me to a security threat:
 * PHP.Generic.BadPattern.5
    This code pattern is often used to run a very dangerous
   shell programs on your server. The code in these files needs to be reviewed, 
   and possibly cleaned.
 * Middleware.php
    /wp-content/plugins/ilab-media-tools/vendor/ilab/ilab-aws-media-
   cloud-sdk/src
 * 313 return $handler($f($command), $request);
 * I’m figuring that if I click the Repair option it will break the plugin, so not
   sure what to do.

 * I think that’s a false positive considering that everything in the function is
   typed and will throw an error if the wrong types are passed to it.
 * Also, that’s from Amazon’s SDK so the issue would have to be opened up on their
   github: [https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php)(
   I just renamespace their library to avoid collisions with other plugins).
 * But I really think it’s a non-issue.
