The Plugin “Dynamic Featured Image” appears to be abandoned

[lharpmen]

I have a alert fomr wordfence form this plugin because is out of date…

Plugin Name: Dynamic Featured Image
Current Plugin Version: 3.7.0
Last Updated: January 29, 2021
Details: It was last updated 2 years 5 months ago and tested up to WordPress 5.6.11. Your site is still using this plugin, but it is not currently available on wordpress.org. Plugins can be removed from wordpress.org for various reasons. This can include benign issues like a plugin author discontinuing development or moving the plugin distribution to their own site, but some might also be due to security issues. In any case, future updates may or may not be available, so it is worth investigating the cause and deciding whether to temporarily or permanently replace or remove the plugin.

Please review for the security of the sites.

Thanks.
