    I ran the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/
    checking for PHP 7 compatibility and got this result for this plugin:

    FILE: wp-content/plugins/auto-thickbox-plus/auto-thickbox-utils.php

    Thanks for sharing Joy. Does that mean that ATB+ could pose a security risk to my site?

    Also, do you know if there is anywhere that I can download the plugin. I’ve been using Auto Thickbox Plus on my site for years & have yet to find any other image viewing plugin that has the same features that I like in ATB+.

    I know it hasn’t been supported in years & seems to have been long pulled from the WordPress plugins library. I’m setting up a new local site on a new PC and would like to install the plugin as I’m not sure how or if I can transfer or download it from my live site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    No.

    Yes, even though the plugin is closed, the old versions still reside in SVN. You can download the trunk version at
    https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/auto-thickbox-plus.zip
    but you might want to just click the “Auto Thickbox Plus” link at the top of the forum sidebar, which will search the plugin directory. You can find other plugins that do similar things.

    it does look like this is now a legitimate vulnerability.
