## Description

LH Cache Remote Images allows you to scan a post, page, or cpt to fetch remote images;
then updates its content.

Unlike other similar plugins this plugin adds the images and updates post_content
asynchronously. Thus ensuring the publishing experience is not slowed down.

### Credits

Thanks to Philipp Beick for responsibly disclosing an SSRF and unsafe-SQL-construction
issue affecting version 1.04, addressed in 1.10.

## Changelog

Full version history is maintained in CHANGELOG.md. Recent versions:

**1.11 August 1, 2026**
 WordPress Plugin Check compliance pass: added License headers,
corrected “Requires at least” to match the plugin’s real minimum WordPress version(
5.8.1), removed a stale Domain Path pointing at a nonexistent languages folder, 
escaped debug output, removed a dead unused method calling a nonexistent function,
added a missing direct-file-access guard, added missing text-domain arguments, and
replaced discouraged parse_url()/unlink() calls with their WordPress-API equivalents.

**1.10 July 31, 2026**
 Security fixes for an SSRF vulnerability and unsafe SQL 
construction responsibly disclosed by Philipp Beick, plus an additional related 
SSRF bypass and host-matching bypass found during review; removed unused bundled
taxonomy library; added plugin_version() identity method. (Versioned 1.10, not 1.1.0,
because WordPress’s version comparison was treating the legacy 1.04 as newer than
1.1.0.)

**1.04 October 08, 2017**
 Updated lh-copy-from-url-class.php

**1.03 September 10, 2017**
 Check posttype is public
