Powerful and feature-rich user directory based on user profile meta fields. — by Sarah Giles
What to do
- There is no fixed version yet. If you can live without Dynamic User Directory for now, deactivate it and delete it until the developer ships a fix.
- If you must keep it, limit who can log in (remove unused accounts, especially low-level ones) and put a web application firewall in front of the site.
- Watch for an update: get an email when this page changes.
- If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.
With WP-CLI: wp plugin get dynamic-user-directory --field=version shows what you run; wp plugin update dynamic-user-directory updates it.
