Unresolved security issue and confusing UX
-
I decided not to use this plugin for two reasons:
- Unresolved vulnerability – A critical security issue has been reported since 1 years and the author has not addressed it nor responded in the support forum, which is concerning.
- Poor Frontend UX – The voting flow is unnecessarily complicated. Results are shown before voting (if “show results” is enabled), and the voting process takes three clicks: first click a “Vote” button under the results, then select the option, and click again to confirm the vote. A smoother flow would be letting users vote directly with a single click on the option, then rewarding them with the results, or a link to reveal them.
Because of these issues, I switched to another popular free plugin, which has not known security issues and a straight user experience.
