Why “Font Awesome” via CDN, it is already included in “fonts” folder in plugin?

    The current user IP address and browser information is sent to a third party server maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com when visiting the WordFence Dashboard page.

    Reason is this code:

    WF 7.1.1, lib/wordfenceClass.php:5305

    public static function menu_dashboard() {
    …
    wp_enqueue_style(‘font-awesome4’, ‘https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css’, array(), ‘4.7.0’);

    Why not use the already included Font Awesome from “fonts” folder, similar to other code in same file?

    wp_enqueue_style(‘wordfence-font-awesome-style’, wfUtils::getBaseURL() . wfUtils::versionedAsset(‘css/wf-font-awesome.css’), ”, WORDFENCE_VERSION);

    This might be an issue for #gdpr-compliance.
