 * Hello. wordpress.org has removed this plugin from the plugin repo, presumably
   due to [this vulnerability](https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/1787f8c9-b70a-4eb7-be61-813a2b585b5e?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=5138c87c926a913dad683444fa2a5867904d13af-1620295335-0-AZDhuj_tPBLJK8AQYbRReb4Y7ThKW7ci8h4MzvI73Ak0uBo6KKMd38Ql-LdZe1jZAHAmDy51TO45WJQFQQTPC20qXQ24aj2tj14EfHHHDCFD1n-1ZrzwV5ugh41idqvDuEX5engz4c7RRM_WcVEKu5AgkfCiLP6yQFmJHlOLlwTThXvQ-aUJJPttrfyXEPZ7BFULKdhZIZg2yPEXX0WSqYjj6MaVAtu_kDDUSvgvE4JdAN3CUIuN14qC8FK5UK14cxxNeOQkvu6phxaYQPfF7D4GpUp8e9GcjS7fP7B7BX-LBK7MTeaHkLBJbaOb2dvl8RhZ7ZCtOINsnuSrtpJwiou2v4G5Pd-JCuISYuY0NioY7hO3Gnvw1afVAFEIE83kuRjox42IykDT9M3qwpMt-Q8o_4l5W2xkuHuoHzjGmWAloTQ3BKeRSl80aTH9E2fhlYDIFdQ5aCbA4o6a9bIIXAFaMnOX42PpHt2Nh5VTa6WKvQ8P_npBvp_7Y1yLv_Bz0xdKeSWtmY59Q8sOb8uCF1Y).
   That post says a proof of concept for the vulnerability will be released on 12
   May. Are you aware of this?

 * It also says that “April 28th, 2021, v3.7.1 released, fixing the issue”. Since
   the issue had been outstanding for a while, I suspect the WP Plugin team is just
   doing a full review to insure there aren’t continuing problems. It does say that
   this was pulled temporarily.
 * Either way I’d keep an eye on it.

 * Yep. Also should note that the article indicates a proof of concept of the exploit
   will be released May 12. So I was hoping to be able to update the plugin before
   then. The plugin is still offline, so I might have to go with an alternate strategy
   for now.

 * Is there any information about when the plugin will be updated and available 
   for download?
    Or shall I search for an alternative?
