Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
WordPress has a 12-year-old unfixed security vulnerability that it does not properly validate incoming comments.
An attacker can trick both anonymous and logged-in users to post comments on a victim site without them realizing, while using their own credentials.
org/ticket/10931
This is a tiny (fewer than 40 effect lines of code) module that adds a secure token to the comment form and validate it before accepting any comment, thus making your comment forms secure as they should\’ve been for all these years!
It provides no UI – just install it, and you are all set!
This plugin adds a secret cryptographically-secure token to the comment form. This is a unique value and is computationally impractical to guess it.
Upon comment submission, the comment is rejected if the secret tokens are not present or computationally invalid.
