This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Amber's Rant:

This is #12 of 52 episodes for 2022! I don't know about everyone else out there, but I am starting to feel a little like the AI is playing some nasty tricks on us all – woke up today to find that my computer was frozen and my work apparently hadn't finished saving before it froze!! Ah well, just means that everything in today's show is extra awesome and extra fresh!!

Hopefully everyone out there is remembering to slow down a little in the rushing around we are all experiencing, and taking the time to smell the roses! Slowing down is the only way you will remember to appreciate all of the small things in life – and the small things are what makes life worth living.

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

WordPress Vulnerability Report – March 9, 2022 – There are quite a few Plugin Vulnerabilities this week; here are the ones with the most severe vulnerabilities: Ps-LinkCard, WP Block and Stop Bad Bots, OSMapper, Multilist Subscribe for Sendy, and Narnoo Distributor. The rest in the list are falling under ‘medium' and ‘low' vulnerability score, though make sure you check it out and deactivate and/or remove the plugins that are most worrisome. I would also like to mention that you may want to check last weeks list as it was a very comprehensive list.

Nearly 30% of critical WordPress plugin bugs don't get a patch – According to Patchstack's whitepaper released about the state of WordPress security in 2021, there has been a growth of 150% in the reported vulnerabilities compared to the previous year, while 29% of the critical flaws in WordPress plugins have never received a security update. Most of these flaws have been found in free plugins,
