Wordpress Toolkit, executable wpt-panopticon

[kcroy]

@cPRex How should we proceed with our current installations? I don't think I use wp-toolkit at all, unless it is happening in the background with our WP installs. ( We install them manually, and don't use an "Installer".

Once this is fixed will it upgrade automatically in the background?

Is this something I should disable in cpanel?

If you aren't using WordPress Toolkit, you don't need to do anything. If you are using WordPress Toolkit, you still wouldn't need to do anything as the update would happen automatically in the background.

I am also getting hundreds of emails per day across all servers - still getting them, so this has not been rolled back (can we do a manual update / rollback from 106.0.13 / WP Toolkit version: 6.0.1-6888 to stop it ?)

Honestly, it makes me angry that developers have not tested their software thoroughly enough. I appreciate the free software, but come on, please be more professional in your testing. This is not the first time we've had issues with WPtoolkit.

And Cpanel should be taking some responsibility to verify this software is not causing issues.

But I am pleased to see something is being done to address it, so I am calm again now ;-)

@WorkinOnIt - I don't think they have rolled back the change just yet.
