 * Hi all,
 * Anyone can tell me how I can contact a developer plugin to give to him information
   about possible vulnerabilities that I found in its plugin.
 * In the WP author’s plugin website I cannot find any contact. I also contact plugins(
   at)wordpress.org about that, but no answer I obtained.
 * I appreciate, if anyone can give some guide about this.
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Regards,
    iberiam

 * Contacting a plugin developer directly is often not possible for users.

 * You’ve done the right thing and will have to wait for a reply from the plugins
   team. It’s not a large team and you need to be patient. You’ll get a reply. 😉

 * Ok, but a month has already passed… Initially I posted a message in “Support 
   plugin’s website”, asking to contact me. However, you had the kindness of removing
   all my posts…
 * The vulnerabilities that I found will be published in a scientific paper about
   security, in a prestige international conference, and I would like to contact
   the plugins developers to confirm the vulnerabilities and before becoming public…
   it is the best practice…

 * did you post on the support forum for the plugin saying “contact me” explaining
   why the author should contact you?
 * Look at the plugin author. it might have social media accounts or his/her own
   website.

 * The message that I posted in the support forum for the plugin was the following:
   ——
   subject: Possibility of some vulnerabilities in your plugin
 * Hi,
 * Possibly I found some vulnerabilities in plugin <name of WP plugin and version
   >. Please contact me by other channel to send you the report of these vulnerabilities.
   
   my email: my_email(at)mail.com
 * Kind regards,
    —-
 * So, why developers should not contact me ?!… Besides, I had already used this
   procedure another time, and developers contacted me.
 * And of course, I just posted a message to the plugins that no author had contact
   in plugins site.

 * Hiya,
 * If you sent the email a month ago to the plugins team, you can probably send 
   a new one asking for an update, also did you send the actual problem, or did 
   you ask them to contact you to be told the problem?
 * The post to the plugin authors forum was redacted (we don’t allow people posting
   their contact details like that), which is probably why noone there contacted
   you back.
