 * Just viewed the source code of website with plugin installed, and was shocked
   after seeing that plugin outputs very sensitive information in every page.
 * Not only it outputs WP version, but also displays PHP version installed on server.
 * `window.addthis_plugin_info={"info_status":"enabled","cms_name":"WordPress","
   plugin_name":"Share Buttons by AddThis","plugin_version":"6.1.0","plugin_mode":"
   WordPress","anonymous_profile_id":"wp-92f0ed974ca68c2c06a28890de761614","php_version":"
   5.6.31","cms_version":"4.8.1","page_info":{"template":"home","post_type":""},"
   sharing_enabled_on_post_via_metabox":false};}`
 * WTF???

 * Hi [@lipskas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lipskas/),
 * The PHP version is only displayed when you are a logged in admin user. This is
   so we have data about what PHP versions our users use so we can create the best
   experience possible.
 * Thanks,
