Is Custom Content by Country (by Shield Security) safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

Q: Is Custom Content by Country (by Shield Security) safe to use?

Laskyr does not give safety verdicts. Custom Content by Country (by Shield Security) is closed on wordpress.org. Closed on 2022-12-02 (reason given: Security Issue). Closed plugins get no updates through WordPress, so new security holes will not be fixed for you. Keep Custom Content by Country (by Shield Security) on the latest version and remove it if you do not use it.

Status: Closed 2022-12-02
Known issues on record: 1
Unpatched in latest: 0

What to do

Replace it. A closed plugin gets no updates through WordPress, so any hole found from now on stays open.
Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deleting removes its files; deactivating alone leaves them on the server.
If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.

With WP-CLI, once you have a replacement: wp plugin deactivate custom-content-by-country && wp plugin delete custom-content-by-country
