 * Not where this should go (nor if already has been posted).
 * There has been a warning on security for some plugins who add buttons in the 
   editor bar.
 * Plugins involved are myGallery and Wordtube. Update those as soon as possible.
 * If you use a plugin which insert such a button, I suggest you check on the plugin
   site.
 * Note: Viper’s nice plugins and Image Manager does not have this security issue.

 * meh.
 * It’s not buttons that anyone has to be worried about. Both plugins you mention
   allow**ed** the “path to certain files” to be set via an http_ post
 * Given that, its then possible to set a path to malicious file.

 * Yes, you’re right. But the way they do it (insert button) has been shown many
   times on internet as a way to insert button with WP 2.1.
