Right?!! I have security plugins installed on pretty much every site I work on that automatically disable any plugin that is updated by remote (such as with the WPRemote WP management plugin). That includes the security plugins themselves, so while I love the added security and the convenience of monitoring all my sites at once for updates from one hub, I've also learned that I can't just update things through the WPRemote control panel, but must do update from WP admin in each site. Having something installed by remote into any of my clients' sites? I have no idea what could happen, but the possibilities make me tired just thinking of all the time it could take to activate everything that could get turned off...it takes 2 hours just to updated and create backups for all my sites as it is!
