    A recent Wordfence scan flagged this plugin as having a ‘critical’ security vulnerability on 2022-10-21 (details below). Just wanted to mention to see if this is something you’re aware of and working on. I noticed that the plugin was last updated 4 days ago, so perhaps this update contained the vulnerability. Thank you for your help.

    Plugin Name: WP Robots Txt
    Current Plugin Version: 1.2
    Details: To protect your site from this vulnerability, the safest option is to deactivate and completely remove “WP Robots Txt” until a patched version is available. Get more information.

    Hello jerryrcole,

    Thank you for informing about this. I have contacted the Wordfence guys to get more details on how to resolve this issue. I will be uploading an updated version asap, to satisfy their security scanner.

    Best regards,

    Hi again,

    I just got a confirmation from the Wordfence team that it was a false positive and there was never really a problem with my plugin.

    They have alredy resolved it on their side and the notice will be cleqred in the next scan.

    Thanks again for informing me.
