Is AB Simple Weather Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100AB Simple Weather has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "ab-simple-weather" plugin version 1.2 presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the static analysis reveals no dangerous functions, no raw SQL queries, no file operations, no external HTTP requests, and no identified taint flows. Furthermore, the plugin has no recorded vulnerability history, which is a strong indicator of a stable and potentially secure codebase. However, significant concerns arise from the lack of proper output escaping. With 100% of its 13 outputs unescaped, this plugin is highly vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Any data that the plugin displays from user input or external sources could be injected with malicious scripts, which would then be executed in the context of the logged-in user's browser.
Key Concerns
- Unescaped output across all outputs
- No nonce checks for entry points
- No capability checks for entry points
