 * Hello Emre,
 * I hope you’re doing well. Wordfence continues to flag version 1.4.3 as a concern.
   They’ve recommended, “To protect your site from this vulnerability, the safest
   option is to deactivate and completely remove ‘WP Fastest Cache’ until a patched
   version is released.” While I’d prefer not to remove it, I will consider doing
   so if these reports persist.
 * Interestingly, one report categorizes it as critical, while another describes
   the vulnerability as low. I’m curious as to why Wordfence continues to signal
   this issue despite my multiple scans.
 * Thank you for your ongoing support with this plugin.
 * Best regards,
   techspecx

 * Actually, this warning has nothing to do with the free plugin, but I just released
   version 1.4.4 anyway. Let’s see if it gives the warning again.

 * Hi Emre,
 * Thanks for your quick response. I conducted a Wordfence scan, and it still reports
   an issue with WP Fastest Cache. Although their webpage states that the vulnerable
   version is WP Fastest Cache Premium <= 1.7.4 and that we should update to version
   1.7.5 or a newer patched version, my scan indicates:
    - **Plugin Name:** WP Fastest Cache
    - **Current Plugin Version:** 1.4.4
    - **Details:** To protect your site from this vulnerability, it’s safest to 
      deactivate and completely remove “WP Fastest Cache” until a fixed version 
      is available. [More information](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache)
    - **Vulnerability Information:** [Link](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/b9e64c54-a78f-454a-a9ee-02f64b6ae83d?source=plugin)
    - **Vulnerability Severity:** 3.5/10.0 (Low)
 * I’ll reach out to WFPeter at Wordfence for more assistance or to keep him informed.
   If you believe everything is functioning properly on your end, it’s possible 
   their software is mistakenly triggering the alert. Let me know if you need anything
   else.
 * Best,

 * Releasing a new version didn’t help because this issue is related to the premium
   add-on. I don’t understand why emails regarding the premium version were sent
   to users who don’t have a premium subscription.

 * I started a thread on the WordFence support forum, but it hasn’t been approved
   yet. I’m curious what kind of response they’ll give.
