Sassy Social Share

What it does: Adds social sharing buttons to posts and pages.

Why it’s listed: A public advisory covers the current version, and no fix is listed yet. It has also gone over a year without an update. Twelve public advisories are on record and eleven are listed as fixed, so it needs steady security work to stay safe.

Is Sassy Social Share still maintained?

It has a public advisory with no fix listed.

Quiet: No update for over a year.

Placements are our opinion, based on public evidence. Risk here means a plugin may not get a fix if a problem appears. It doesn’t mean we found a flaw, unless we show an advisory. Going quiet alone never puts a plugin in Replace now.
