The absence of known CVEs, critical taint flows, and dangerous function usage indicates a well-developed and relatively secure codebase. Furthermore, the plugin demonstrates good practices by utilizing prepared statements for all SQL queries and implementing nonce and capability checks on its entry points, which significantly mitigates common attack vectors.
