Risk Assessment

The "ajax-load-more-rest-api" v1.2.6 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis results. The absence of identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events with unprotected entry points significantly limits the potential attack surface. Furthermore, the code demonstrates good practices by not utilizing dangerous functions, performing file operations, or making external HTTP requests. The exclusive use of prepared statements for SQL queries is also a positive indicator.

Key Concerns

  • Output escaping could be improved
  • No nonce checks on entry points
  • No capability checks on entry points
