Security concern, inappropriate code
-
Plugin has explicitly used its own google analytics code which is sending data to plugin author’s account for any site thats using this plugin.
<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-38371699-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'https://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>
This is written even before any headers are sent, and will cause error on many sites as well.
