Risk Assessment

The "show-authors-without-posts" plugin version 1.0.2 exhibits an exceptionally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any identified dangerous functions, SQL injection vulnerabilities (all queries use prepared statements), output escaping issues, file operations, or external HTTP requests is highly commendable. Furthermore, the lack of a significant attack surface, with zero AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, greatly reduces the potential for exploitation. The plugin also has no known vulnerabilities in its history, which suggests a proactive and secure development process. This lack of documented issues further solidifies its strong security standing.
