Description:
It appears that the repository issuehub.io has not been actively maintained for some time. Additionally, the repository links to a website that, in turn, references a plugin flagged as suspicious. This raises potential concerns about the safety and trustworthiness of the repository and its associated resources.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate to the repository's main page.
  2. Follow the provided link to the associated website.
  3. Observe the mention or redirection to a plugin with potentially suspicious behavior.

Concerns:

  • Security Risks: Users may inadvertently download or interact with unverified plugins, exposing their systems to vulnerabilities.
  • Repository Maintenance: Lack of updates or activity could indicate abandonment, reducing confidence in the safety and relevance of the project.
  • User Trust: Linking to potentially unsafe resources can harm the credibility of the repository and its maintainers.

Suggested Actions:

  1. Verify and audit the linked website and associated plugin for security and legitimacy.
  2. Update the repository to clarify its status (e.g., archived, maintained, or deprecated).
  3. If the repository is no longer actively maintained, consider adding a disclaimer warning users of potential risks.
  4. Remove or replace the suspicious plugin link with safer, validated alternatives.

Additional Context:
Addressing these issues will not only enhance the reputation of issuehub.io but also ensure that users engaging with the repository are protected from potential security threats.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
