    This plugin contains swf files which Adobe has ended support for at the end of 2020 so I am not sure why those files would be part of the download for the wpdatatables plugin. This causes all kinds of issues for security as well. Is there a possibility of removing all swf files from the download package?

    More specifically the file in question is located at wpdatatables/assets/js/jquery-datatables/media/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf. What is the purpose of this file and can it be removed. It triggers vulnerability scanners.
