What we found

CriticalA known unpatched vulnerability is recorded against this plugin.
What to do: Patch and release an advisory before anything else.
No update in 94 months

What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
