Risk Assessment

The "custom-help" plugin version 1.0.1 exhibits an excellent security posture based on the provided static analysis. The complete absence of dangerous functions, the use of prepared statements for all SQL queries, and 100% proper output escaping are significant strengths. Furthermore, the lack of file operations, external HTTP requests, and the controlled attack surface with no entry points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron) without authorization checks are highly commendable practices. Taint analysis showing zero unsanitized flows further reinforces its robust security.
