So at some point on each page (that is, between each \u003Ccode>\u003C!--nextpage-->\u003C\u002Fcode> tag) you need to add a tag to let the plugin know what number the footnotes on this page should start at.

To do this, you can either simply insert the exact same text as you did the first time and the identifier should simply reference the previous note. Alternatively, if you don’t want to do all that typing again, you can construct a footnote like this: \u003Ccode>((ref:1))\u003C\u002Fcode> and the identifier will reference the footnote with the given number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s a little more typing, using the exact text method is much more robust. The number referencing will not work across multiple pages in a paged post (but will work within the page). Also, if you use the number referencing system you risk them identifying the incorrect footnote if you go back and insert a new footnote and forget to change the referenced number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Available in 8 Languages\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Footnotes Made Easy is fully internationalized, and ready for translations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Many thanks to the following translators for their contributions:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprofiles.wordpress.org\u002Fdartiss\u002F\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">David Artiss\u003C\u002Fa>, English (UK)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprofiles.wordpress.org\u002Fmarkscottrobson\u002F\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">Mark Robson\u003C\u002Fa>, English (UK)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprofiles.wordpress.org\u002Fyayannabelle\u002F\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">Annabelle W\u003C\u002Fa>, English (UK)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprofiles.wordpress.org\u002Fmaboroshin\u002F\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">maboroshin\u003C\u002Fa>, Japanese\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprofiles.wordpress.org\u002Fwplmillet\u002F\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">Laurent MILLET\u003C\u002Fa>, French (France)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprofiles.wordpress.org\u002Fcansmile\u002F\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">B.

\"cm-footnotes\" v2.2.2 plugin exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it demonstrates strong practices regarding SQL query handling by exclusively using prepared statements and shows a commitment to security by implementing nonce checks for all identified AJAX handlers. The absence of known CVEs and historical vulnerabilities suggests a developer who has historically prioritized security. However, the static analysis reveals areas of concern that warrant attention.\n\nSpecifically, the presence of 3 AJAX handlers without authentication checks represents a significant attack surface. While the taint analysis found no critical or high severity issues, there was one flow with unsanitized paths, which could potentially lead to vulnerabilities if exploited in conjunction with other weaknesses. Furthermore, the relatively low percentage of properly escaped output (40%) indicates a potential risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, as user-supplied data might not be adequately neutralized before being displayed.\n\nIn conclusion, while the plugin benefits from secure SQL practices and a clean vulnerability history, the unprotected AJAX endpoints and the significant number of unescaped outputs introduce notable security risks. These factors, combined with the unsanitized path flow, mean that despite a good historical record, the current version requires careful consideration and potential remediation to fully secure its attack surface.",[779,781,783],{"reason":780,"points":110},"Unprotected AJAX handlers",{"reason":782,"points":596},"Significant unescaped output",{"reason":784,"points":195},"Unsanitized path flow","2026-03-16T20:42:11.560Z",{"wat":787,"direct":802},{"assetPaths":788,"generatorPatterns":794,"scriptPaths":795,"versionParams":796},[789,790,791,792,793],"\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fcss\u002Ffont.css","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fcss\u002Fstyle.css","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fjs\u002Feditor.js","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fjs\u002Ffront.js","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fjs\u002Fsettings.js",[],[791,792,793],[797,798,799,800,801],"\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fcss\u002Ffont.css?ver=","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fcss\u002Fstyle.css?ver=","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fjs\u002Feditor.js?ver=","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fjs\u002Ffront.js?ver=","\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fassets\u002Fjs\u002Fsettings.js?ver=",{"cssClasses":803,"htmlComments":807,"htmlAttributes":808,"restEndpoints":810,"jsGlobals":811,"shortcodeOutput":813},[804,805,806],"cmf-simple-footnote","cmf-simple-footnote-definitions","cmf-simple-footnote-label",[],[809],"data-cmf-simple-footnote-id",[],[812],"CMF_front",[814],"[cm_simple_footnote]",{"error":269,"url":816,"statusCode":817,"statusMessage":818,"message":818},"http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost\u002Fapi\u002Fplugins\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Fbundle",404,"no bundle for this plugin yet",{"slug":4,"current_version":6,"total_versions":49,"versions":820},[821,828,835,842,849],{"version":822,"download_url":823,"svn_tag_url":824,"released_at":28,"has_diff":267,"diff_files_changed":825,"diff_lines":28,"trac_diff_url":826,"vulnerabilities":827,"is_current":267},"2.2.0","https:\u002F\u002Fdownloads.wordpress.org\u002Fplugin\u002Fcm-footnotes.2.2.0.zip","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.svn.wordpress.org\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Ftags\u002F2.2.0\u002F",[],"https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.trac.wordpress.org\u002Fchangeset?old_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.10&new_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.2.0",[],{"version":829,"download_url":830,"svn_tag_url":831,"released_at":28,"has_diff":267,"diff_files_changed":832,"diff_lines":28,"trac_diff_url":833,"vulnerabilities":834,"is_current":267},"2.1.10","https:\u002F\u002Fdownloads.wordpress.org\u002Fplugin\u002Fcm-footnotes.2.1.10.zip","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.svn.wordpress.org\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Ftags\u002F2.1.10\u002F",[],"https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.trac.wordpress.org\u002Fchangeset?old_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.9&new_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.10",[],{"version":836,"download_url":837,"svn_tag_url":838,"released_at":28,"has_diff":267,"diff_files_changed":839,"diff_lines":28,"trac_diff_url":840,"vulnerabilities":841,"is_current":267},"2.1.9","https:\u002F\u002Fdownloads.wordpress.org\u002Fplugin\u002Fcm-footnotes.2.1.9.zip","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.svn.wordpress.org\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Ftags\u002F2.1.9\u002F",[],"https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.trac.wordpress.org\u002Fchangeset?old_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.8&new_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.9",[],{"version":843,"download_url":844,"svn_tag_url":845,"released_at":28,"has_diff":267,"diff_files_changed":846,"diff_lines":28,"trac_diff_url":847,"vulnerabilities":848,"is_current":267},"2.1.8","https:\u002F\u002Fdownloads.wordpress.org\u002Fplugin\u002Fcm-footnotes.2.1.8.zip","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.svn.wordpress.org\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Ftags\u002F2.1.8\u002F",[],"https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.trac.wordpress.org\u002Fchangeset?old_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.7&new_path=%2Fcm-footnotes%2Ftags%2F2.1.8",[],{"version":850,"download_url":851,"svn_tag_url":852,"released_at":28,"has_diff":267,"diff_files_changed":853,"diff_lines":28,"trac_diff_url":28,"vulnerabilities":854,"is_current":267},"2.1.7","https:\u002F\u002Fdownloads.wordpress.org\u002Fplugin\u002Fcm-footnotes.2.1.7.zip","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.svn.wordpress.org\u002Fcm-footnotes\u002Ftags\u002F2.1.7\u002F",[],[]]
