Classic. Installing random crap from the wp ecosystem is something I expect of amateurs, but it's disappointing devs active in the foss community could install and store such things on the same account as their software downloads which btw aren't signed. Irresponsible. And why aren't they disclosing which plugin was it?

Are you saying that reputable plugins have never had security issues? If not, then what's your point?
