   your plugin. Please see details on this page: [https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/wordpress-limit-login-attempts-reloaded-plugin-2-25-22-race-condition-vulnerability](https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/wordpress-limit-login-attempts-reloaded-plugin-2-25-22-race-condition-vulnerability)

 * We were alerted about this possible vulnerability on May 10th, 2023 and were 
   trying to duplicate it during that month as much as possible. Our test showed
   that the vulnerability doesn’t exist and the assumption that it exists was made
   due to incorrect methodology in the initial vulnerability tests. We replied to
   the reporter with our test results but the email didn’t get through.
 * We have re-sent our research results to the reporter today and hopefully they
   will close the record soon. We’re confident the vulnerability doesn’t exist.
