dvascheta on "[Plugin: Smart Layers by AddThis] Security issue: plugin acess to admin-ajax.php"

Hello!

After yesterday update I found out that plugin now needs access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php when loading all pages. I have .htpasswd protection of wp-admin directory, so when you open any page you see login-password dialog.

Found

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=addthis_global_options_settings'></script>

I'm sure it wasn't here before update.

Looked in settings and found "AJAX Support (Experimental)" but either checking or unchecking it doesn't influence this string of code.

Disabling the plugin also doesn't help. Had to uninstall it, because wp-admin password protection is greate ussue for me.

Please do smth to exclude this line from pages code (for example exclude it when your experimental checkbox is not set), or give another solution, other way I can't use the plugin. Hope I'm not alone with this problem.

Thanks in advance.
