Risk assessment
- Risk level
- Low risk
- Why this risk exists
- Tested live on a real image through both "Apply" and "Vectorize." Every request stayed on figma.com; nothing went to the developer's domain.
- Mitigation
- Safe to use as-is. Plugin is unmaintained since 2022, so don't expect fixes if Figma's API changes.
- Confidence
- High
