WordFence Alerts Critical for Vulenrability

@josklever I don’t think it’s fair for a “messenger” to recommend people remove software if they haven’t even looked into whether something is a legit security concern where removing the software would be warranted.

If blindly passing on warnings without checking any of them is what the feature does, then make it very clear that it needs to be checked by the user before they do something as drastic as removing the software completely. That’s where I feel they’re crossing the line a bit.

It just doesn’t make them look good – and can really damage the plugin author’s reputation as well as their own. A bit like being sent a warning about something from a friend online, where they tell you to warn all your contacts, and, without checking it, you send it on, only to later find out it was some bogus story from 8 years ago… and end up feeling kinda stupid for creating all this fear over something that turned out to be incorrect.

Make it clear that the effect of the issue needs to be evaluated, is all I’m saying… rather than freaking everyone out.

What a thorough and well-documented timeline of this issue. Thank you for posting your replies and status updates here @tobiasbg. Looking forward to version 2.x of the plugin. Thanks again.
