Here’s a gift from me to Google Analytics: 🖕
Vulnerabilities are bound to come up when plugins and software is designed to intrusively collect data from the user.
Serves them right violating their users’ privacy.
TL;DR - the plugin is “MonsterInsights”, a Google Analytics dashboard
I changed the title to make that clear. Thanks.
