 * My WordPress install now identifies this plugin as a vulnerability as it is outdated
   and not compatible with the last two major versions of WordPress.
 * Last update was 9 months ago – any plans for an update?

 * I guess you’re referring to WordPress mentioning that “This plugin has **not 
   been tested** with the latest two major versions of WordPress”.
 * WordPress is constructed in a way that makes it really back-compatible. A simple
   plugin that was developed several years ago and hooks into some basic parts of
   the WordPress programming interface may still work perfectly well. The “shortcode”
   function is such a thing that didn’t change much over the years. So I’d expect
   this plugin to work just fine as long as YouTube doesn’t change the URL structure
   on **their** side.
 * “Tested up to” is just a declaration from the plugin developer about what version
   of WordPress they’ve tested their plugin with.
 * I’m not related to this plugin in any way.

 * [@tobifjellner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobifjellner/) precisely 
   that – my host (one.com) and their “Health Monitor” does however report this 
   as “_not compatible with the last two major WordPress versions._” under a Vulnerability
   header with a recommendation of:
 * _“If a plugin hasn’t been tested to work with the last two major WordPress releases,
   we recommend using an alternative plugin.”_
 * Maybe the fix is to simply redress the current release with a new version number
   to shut WordPress up. 🙂

 * That is indeed what the plugin developers would need to do after testing to make
   sure their plugin works. 🙂
