You seem to misunderstand something here. The potential to do something harmful is given with any addon as is. Addons themselves are much more dangerous than a bundled library in that regard. I could for example slip some code into one of my addons which sells all your equipment to an NPC vendor automatically and then several others from the inventory so you can't buy them back and nobody will notice it until it is too late. Nobody reads every single line of code when an addon is updated, and it's your own responsibility to check for things like that before you use them. Libraries on the other hand have to be included into a new addon version by an author first, so in theory they get checked for malicious things by them before they are uploaded.

As Baertram said. If you do not want them, just scan your addon folder for LibCustomTitles.lua and delete the files. That's the way to opt-out.
