 Very dangerous bug, its kind of a loophole to destroy website.
 For example I have created custom plugin with name of "example" directory,
 and if in WordPress plugin market if plugin available with same directory
 (example) then installed plugin asked for update but both plugin are
 different. And if we update the plugin from the popup then old plugin
 replaced with new plugin but both are different.
 So if we update plugin with some hacky code to the name of popular plugin
 directory then its dangerous for targeted website.
