    Hi
    I saw this message from Nuanced Media on facebook yesterday:

    Unfortunately at this time, we have chosen to no longer provide development for this plugin and will not be releasing anymore updates. This decision was made after reviewing the resources and time required and how it aligns with Nuanced Media’s long term goals. We appreciate your support and use of our plugin and hope you have enjoyed using it.

    I just want to know if it is true, because nobody talked about that from here.

    Seems legit. Check their blog: https://nuancedmedia.com/wordpress-rich-reviews-plugin/

    Hi @djbeyhan, I think it was true that they didn’t want to do anything further with Rich Reviews, since fixing this issue the right way required re-writing the whole options interface for the plugin.

    We saw the post on Sophos that mentioned they’d be interested in having someone take over. So Matt and I (the Starfish Reviews team) has decided to adopt this plugin and fix the security vulnerabilities in it. You can see that Nuanced Media has updated the post that @eiabergm linked to above, stating that we’re taking over.

    We’re hard at work on an update. Matt has fixed the main vulnerability by completely re-writing the options interface. We’re now just testing functionality to make sure everything works correctly. We should have a secure update out soon, but I don’t have an ETA for you yet.

    At this point we highly recommend disabling the Rich Reviews plugin until the 1.7 update has been released and applied on your site.

    Version 1.8 (there was already a 1.7 that we weren’t initially aware of) is now available! Please update to remove the vulnerabilities and ensure your site is secure.

    We are not supporting and maintaining this plugin. So you can rest assured that things will be better going forward.
