Risk Assessment

All identified AJAX entry points are protected with authentication checks, and there are no exposed REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that could serve as unauthenticated entry points. The code demonstrates good practices with 100% of SQL queries utilizing prepared statements and a very high rate of output escaping (98%).
