    Also, it’s easy to spot this plugin has been compromised. All you need to do is visit the site on a mobile browser to see it redirect to a porn site.

    That only indicates that your site is hacked. That doesn’t mean that the plugin does not have a problem but just your site being hacked doesn’t really make a case for that.

    Can you point to the code here that is exploitable?

    I’m not a coder, but I installed this plugin on three unique sites and all three of those sites got hacked.

    When I installed the plugin, it changed the headers of the other plugins and immediately deactivated them. From what I understand, the specific type of hack seems to effect jquery plugins, so if your plugin is open source, it may have been injected into there.
