Have you tried contacting the plugin’s developer about this?

This code is either amateurish, or deliberately written to be exploitable (conditionally assigning values to $_POST?? What is that? It is either sloppy stupidity, or evil genius).

My humble opinion: nobody is perfect and nobody has the total knowledge on everything.

IMHO, avoid this software until it has had a proper security review.

Don be shy, please let me know what’s wrong in detail, check out the modifications in a private beta and let the people know the plugin is ok with your security standards.

Its a good chance to give something back to the open source community and a better attitude rather than pointing the finger and hiding, do you agree?

thank you

Update – I may have made this post to hastily. I did not check which version of MyEasybackup I had installed. According to the plugin website a security fix was implemented in July.

@hamhere,

did you get the info by installing and using the WSD plugin or did you sign up and ran a remote service?

Just to know how can I proceed to find out how to fix this issue.

thanks

I had used WSD Plugin and had the product installed for many months, probably since last 2010. I just recently installed webdefender.

I just installed the WSD plugin and run a “Scan Reports” but the problem is not shown.

I am using WSD Plugin 0.4 and myEASYbackup 1.0.8.1: are you using the same versions?

I confirm the error is gone. So sorry for jumping the gun and flagging the error when I had not done proactive problem determination on my part.

Thank you for the useful plug in.

Glad to see the problem is gone!
