 * Hello,
   I’ve been using the Library Bookshelves on my library’s website (and several
   other library’s sites in West Virginia, and we love it. However, within the past
   few days, apparently a Cross Site Scripting Error was discovered and this plugin
   is vulnerable to it. I was just wondering on an ETA for getting a new version
   so that we could continue to use the plugin. Right now, it keeps getting disabled
   because of the vulnerability. All the information I have on it is below:WordPress
   Library Bookshelves plugin <= 5.8 – Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilityReflected
   Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability discovered by Mika (Patchstack Alliance)
   in WordPress Plugin Library Bookshelves (versions <= 5.8)

 * I’m glad you’ve enjoyed using the plugin. An update to fix this vulnerability
   is in progress. I can’t give you an ETA at this point, but I hope to get around
   to finishing an update soon.
