Small helper plugin to protect blogs with older versions of WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache from unsane comments.

== Description ==

There was a vulnerability in WordPress installations that used WP Super Cache prior to version 1.3 or W3 Total Cache prior to version 0.9.2.9. This helper plugin was a stopgap solution for older versions. If you have upgraded WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache, you can safely deactivate and remove this plugin.

I've posted a ["post mortem" of the vulnerability (reasons, fixes, timeline, ...) on my blog](http://blog.futtta.be/2013/04/18/wp-caching-plugin-vulnerability-debrief/).

I will request this plugin to be removed from the wordpress.org plugin repository before the end of April.

== Installation ==

Just install form your WordPress "Plugins|Add New" screen and all will be well. 

Manual installation is very straightforward:

1. Upload the zip-file and unzip it in the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

= When do I need this helper plugin? =
Only if you are using WP Super Cache prior to version 1.3 (do upgrade to [the latest version](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/) which does not have this vulnerability!) or W3 Total Cache prior to version 0.9.2.9.
