If there is indeed a potential security risk you may have just given hackers an opportunity to do harm before Fivestar fix it...
Just my two cents...

To my horror, the login page for this function is NOT secured. (http instead of https). Potentially, hackers capturing the sign-in information during the view wishlist can use the data to gain access to the Five Star account. This alert has been posted to Five Star forums as well [Link] |

In layman terms, your sign-in is now protected by the lock icon at the bottom of your browser. This is the standard security feature any online store will have. [Link] |
