Changelog

Important security update. All users are strongly advised to upgrade immediately.

1.2.108

  • Hardening: capability checks added to all AJAX handlers, request inputs are now consistently unslashed, sanitized and validated.
  • Hardening: relink endpoint now verifies attachment ownership, restricts writes to the uploads directory and validates the uploaded content against the allowed media types to prevent arbitrary file overwrite.
  • Hardening: postMessage handler in main.js now validates the message source, and the host bridge is bundled with the plugin instead of being received and eval’d from the embedded client.
  • Hardening: prefixed previously global helper functions, replaced json_encode/parse_url with wp_json_encode/wp_parse_url, and properly escaped all user-facing output.
  • Compliance: addressed Plugin Check findings (ABSPATH guard, output escaping, debug-only error logging, etc.).

  • switch to new server infrastructure
