Nov 1, 2025November 2025 summary for facebook/facebook-for-woocommerce: Security remediation and cleanup focused on removing an unused and vulnerable integration. Delivered the deprecation of the WhatsApp Webhook Handler to address a security vulnerability and simplify the codebase for the current product version. The change was implemented via commit 81b57a1f99009fc97eaa9811090079744f3261fb and merged under PR #3693, with tests confirming that the plugin loads as expected post-removal.

This work reduces attack surface, cuts maintenance overhead, and aligns with the Scaled Beta product roadmap while preserving existing customer workflows where applicable.
