## Description

This plugin looks at the phishing issue with target=»_blank» vulnerability when 
the opened page can control the referring page.
 The plugin fixes it by adding a
rel=»noopener noreferrer» in the «A» tags where a target=»_blank» is found. It does
not change the content, it only modifies the «A» tags while the plugin is active.
Tested on PHP 5 to PHP 8.

I had installed a larger security plugin package that included this capability, 
but it didn’t work. Glad I found this little plugin. It fixed the issue quick and
easy. Thanks!
