Pretty Links Plugin Vulnerability

I installed a plugin called “Plugin Vulnerabilities”, which purpose it is to detect vulnerabilities in plugins installed on a WordPress website. It highlighted Pretty Links as having vulnerabilities, as follows:

WordPress site: https://itiam.com

The installed version of the Pretty Links plugin, 2.1.2, contains an authenticated short link creation vulnerability. More details on the vulnerability can be found at https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2017/12/22/is-this-what-a-hacker-might-be-interested-in-the-pretty-links-plugin-for/.

You can get alerted for known vulnerabilities in all of the plugins you use, not just ones that we have seen evidence that hackers are targeting, when you sign up for our Plugin Vulnerabilities service: https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/

As the data for that service comes from checking with our service’s API, you don’t need to update the plugin to get alerted to new issues and you can have checks done as often as hourly.

Currently our service warns about vulnerabilities in the most recent version of plugins with over one million active installs that are still available in the Plugin Directory.

Through the service you also have access to a number of other important features including the ability to suggest/vote for which plugins we will do security reviews of and help when dealing with a situation where you are using a plugin where the vulnerability has yet to be fixed (we can usually provide a temporary fix for the issue).

You can currently sign up for half off when you use the coupon code “HalfOff” when signing up.

Warning sent from the Plugin Vulnerabilities plugin.

I hope you could address this, as I am a big supporter of Pretty Links and hate to go scouting for a replacement.

Best Regards

Gerhard
