 * Hello there,
 * the plugin has been removed from the wordpress.org plugin library. Therefore 
   security plugins like WordFence will mark it as security risk. People will have
   to delete the plugin, because Webhosters will not allow unlistet plugins to be
   used.
 * Can you give us any information about what is going on? Is there a chance the
   plugin will be fixed and listed again? I would love to continue using Recent 
   Posts Widget Extended.
 * Greetings,
 * SFrueh

 * Well, with no response from the plugin dev team, are others thinking this plugin
   may have been abandoned and that we will have to find another plugin?
 * I keep hoping we will hear from them that they are working on it or a fix is 
   being reviewed by the plugins team, but without that info, and the fact that 
   the vulnerability is Contributor level users and up, I guess we will have to 
   find a different plugin.
 * Anyone have suggestions?
