There was a vulnerability in WordPress installations that used WP Super Cache prior to version 1.3 or W3 Total Cache prior to version 0.9.2.9. This helper plugin was a stopgap solution for older versions. If you have upgraded WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache, you can safely deactivate and remove this plugin.
I've posted a "post mortem" of the vulnerability (reasons, fixes, timeline, ...) on my blog.
I will request this plugin to be removed from the wordpress.org plugin repository before the end of April.
