Active-install and ratings figures are the last values WP Beacon captured before wordpress.org closed this plugin — wp.org no longer publishes them. Daily downloads are still updated.
a remote HTTP fetch (`wp_remote_*` / `curl_exec`) is followed by `@unserialize` within the same file — classic PHP Object Injection C2 gadget. The error-suppressed form is the tell: legit code wants to know when deserialize fails; attackers suppress so malformed gadgets do not leak. A real finding regardless of author intent: any plugin that deserializes remote responses without validation is a latent RCE chain if the remote endpoint is ever compromised.

SVN committers (2)
Accounts with actual commit access to apply-online on plugins.svn.wordpress.org, reconstructed from svn log. This is the list that matters for ownership changes — not the readme contributors.
Names the plugin's readme declares as contributors. A soft signal — anyone can be listed. The SVN access column is the ground-truth cross-reference: does this contributor actually commit code?
