Risk Assessment

The "modify-attachments-meta" plugin v0.2 presents an exceptionally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits the plugin's attack surface. Furthermore, the code signals indicate a robust adherence to security best practices, with no dangerous functions, all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, and all output properly escaped.
