I’ve updated the popular Click Counter Plugin, now available in version 1.02

This is a security upgrade, fixing a potential SQL injection exploit that was discovered by Dougal Campbell (many thanks to him for this notice).

To be honest, I tried for half an hour to break things with various SQL injections and XSS attempts, and I couldn’t do anything harmful to my test blog. But, you know, better safe than sorry, so I strongly encourage every user of this plugin to get the latest files. Now.

Update: most probably a false alarm. Oh well, upgrading won’t harm anyway :)

    [...] کمتر آدم فرانسوی رو دیده ام که وقتی ازش انتقاد می کنم یا به کارش ایراد می گیرم در برابرم جبهه بگیره. خیلی هاشون منطقی فکر می کنند و یا حداقل با تندی جواب نمی دن. به کمک ) Dougalخدا خیرش بده) این باگ رو پیدا کردیم ولی هنوز قبول نمی کنه که کارش ایراد داره! در هر صورت اگر از این پلاگین استفاده می کنید حتما نسخه جدید رو که این باگ در اون رفع شده، از اینجا دریافت کنید. و الا با من طرفید :) [...]
