c.note on "[Plugin: Seamless Sticky Custom Post Types] Potential Security back door"

Nice plugin but it needs a security update.

One of my WordPress installations recently suffered a malware attack, WP itself was up-to-date so were the few plugins I use - I always update. I continually had to remove the files and change passwords etc. but I couldn't identify the leak.

I decided to move the site to a new host. The new hosting was setup and the site migrated. It was hacked again and the new host had superior reporting that identified a script in this plugin. I disabled the plugin and deleted it, no malware hacking issues since.

I opted to replicate the functionality with some custom code.
