Risk Assessment

The security posture of the 'acf-date-selector' v1.0.0 plugin appears to be strong based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The plugin exhibits excellent security practices by having no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that could serve as entry points.
