Thanks for the insights!
I got to know about PV just the other day when I read a credit to them in the changelog for this plugin, wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic...
Apart from the issues you point out above. For a site owner, is their service safe to use and useful?
As I understand it you install a plugin and it compares every x hour the plugin name+version of installed plugins with PV:s database of vulnerable plugins. You get an email alert if a plugin you are using is known to be vulnerable. They even say they somehow help you to protect yourself until the vulnerability is properly fixed. I guess you get access to a patched version of the plugin.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
