Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this...

Reading this thread this morning:
http://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments..._to_remove_it/

Evidently the cats at Elvui had implemented a back door into their ui to help with with their maintenance.


Since i don't know dick about computers, i just wanted to know if there's anything like this in RealUI, and if so, why.

And if anyone tries to pull crap like with files that they are hosting here, their files will be very promptly pulled from the site as soon as we are made aware of it.

I discovered that an addon hosted on this site, ElvUI Shadow & Light Edit, has its own backdoor. One that is quite large in scope.

See my post on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments...backdoor_with/

It looks like it has been removed from the code today, after I posted it on reddit, but I thought that you guys should be made aware.
