Risk Assessment

The "advanced-elementor" plugin version 1.0.7 presents a mixed security picture. On the positive side, static analysis reveals no identified dangerous functions, SQL injection vulnerabilities (all queries use prepared statements), file operations, or external HTTP requests. Furthermore, the plugin has no known historical vulnerabilities (CVEs), which is a strong indicator of a well-maintained codebase. However, a significant concern arises from the complete lack of output escaping. With 15 total outputs analyzed and 0% properly escaped, this plugin is highly susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Any dynamic data displayed to users that originates from user input, even indirectly, could be exploited.

Key Concerns

  • 100% of outputs are unescaped
  • No capability checks
  • No nonce checks
