 * I have a question on what is already done regarding form security?
 * Did you include client-side and the server-side form validation?
 * Or do you use a PHP built-in function to sanitize the input?
 * I saw that you use htmlspecialchars() to sanitize output to protect against XSS.
   And also a nonce to identify the form.
 * I am asking to ensure we offer no insecure website to our clients using this 
   plugin. If needed we could also support you with that.
