Is Koha plugin system safe?
The koha plug-in system enables easy system expansion with an additional non-standard function. I have received several queries from librarians about the security of the plug-in system. Personally, I have not observed any problems, so I would like to ask if using the plug-in system is safe? Regards, Michal -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html
Hi Michal, It depends on the plugin :) A plugin can do almost everything it wants, so you should only install plugins you really trust. And you should give the permissions to manage them to librarians you really trust as well. I should add that plugins are almost never reviewed (by the QA team for instance), so they could potentially contain security issues.
