 Replying to [comment:4 yani.iliev]:
 > Reporting a security vulnerability in a plugin can trigger an immediate
 disabling of the said plugin from the WordPress.org plugin repo.

 Definitely no. The whole point of having a security reporting system is
 that anybody can file a security report. Therefore, no action (from the
 general public) can be used to take automatic actions.
