 * I understand the amount is far greater than what a handful of volunteers can 
   handle. But it’s also creating a repository of infection because they decide 
   to allow free realm to upload anything as opposed to a serious review system.
 * But I guess that’s what you get with free.

 * Does wordpress not validate the plugins?
 * I mean, this is a Sitemap plugin that’s installed under a directory called “jpeg-
   upload-only”. That name has nothing to do with Sitemap or the author. On top 
   of that, there is a fishy function that injects a fishy link into the WordPress
   header.
 * Regardless if everything checks out, how is that methodology allowed in the plugin
   repository for WordPress? These are peoples websites that are hosted on real 
   servers. 😀

 * Like I said, opened the zip file and it auto-installed software before extracting
   the zip file contents. Windows explorer restarted (Windows 8) therefore after.
   That is very abnormal activity for a normal zip archive.
 * You can feel free to check if you want.
 * [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/jpeg-upload-only.bwp-google-xml-sitemaps.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/jpeg-upload-only.bwp-google-xml-sitemaps.zip)
 * This is the file that I snagged from the authors profile when reviewing other
   versions of the plugin.

 * Confirmed.
 * The author is malicious. Upon reviewing the developer profile and downloading
   the previous version zip files, malware was activated after opening the zip files.
   I don’t know what types, but a commandline window was opened and something was
   installed after the zip was closed.
 * DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PLUGIN.
