 * Hi [@wfrmitstaff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfrmitstaff/),
   1. This 
   was never a security issue at all. 100% no chance of any security issue every
   happening from this. It’s literally impossible. I spent hours looking into it
   and there is nothing there.2. Even though there was no issue, I fixed the “vulnerability”
   in version 1.5.1.Please mark this as resolved.Best,Scott

 * Thanks for your feedback, could you kindly report this to patchstack? In the 
   opposite case some security plugin will reports your plugin as vulnerable.
 * Thanks in adcavnce for your cooperation.
