 * Hello, I have the premium version and I just saw this unacceptable answer. If
   you have made the patch in the premium version it means that you probably know
   how to make it for the free version. I find that the option you have chosen to
   leave your users with a security problem that you recognize is taking a major
   risk to the sites of people who are using your plugin in confidence.You have 
   broken this contract of confidence in all conscience and knowledge. Offering 
   a paid fix (upgrading to premium version is paid) goes against all the ethical
   principles I defend day after day for many years. It would have been honest to
   patch the repo version, then stop it as a free version.
    I will stop using your
   product immediately as soon as I find an alternative (it will be quick). I don’t
   salute you

 * Hello,
 * The patch is not intended to be for premium-only. Support for this plugin (both
   free and paid) has been discontinued, and while I have created a patch for the(
   very minor) security issue, WordPress will not allow me to release the update
   to the plugin repository for free users because the plugin is discontinued.
 * It’s a bad situation for everyone, and it’s simply due to the fact that WordPress
   won’t allow me to release the security patch because the plugin is closed. I’m
   sorry.
