It is options framework, but it doesn't matter. I meant to say any
"bundled resource"<br>
Checking everything makes sense and we should.<br>
<br>
My concern is that, say we have 2 embedded resource then 1 theme
review = 1 theme code + 2 plug-in code review?<br>
I think admins can make a rule for this, because<br>
1) We're already atleast 6 week behind <br>
2) New comers like me, don't have much experience in reviewing
plugin code and security issues.<br>

A good starting point would be using diff to check if
the Options framework has been inserted "as-is" in the
theme, or if its a modified version (maybe even
malicious code)<br>

I find Sublimerge to be an awesome tool for this

Subject: [theme-reviewers] Embedded
theme options frameworks and/or
resources<br>
<br>
I'm reviewing a theme which embeds
options framework.<br>
My question is, since it is bundled
resource, I don't need to go through<br>
it line by line, right?<br>
Plugin reviewer can take care of
that. But how can I make sure, it is<br>
not modified version of original<br>
and/or not containing any malicious
code such as dialling home which we<br>
encountered few days back!<br>
