Is AntiBot Captcha Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100AntiBot Captcha has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "antibot-captcha" v2.0 plugin exhibits a concerning security posture, despite having no recorded vulnerabilities or a large attack surface in terms of entry points. The static analysis reveals significant weaknesses in fundamental secure coding practices. Notably, 100% of SQL queries are not using prepared statements, posing a substantial risk of SQL injection vulnerabilities. Furthermore, 100% of output escaping is not properly handled, which could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is echoed without sanitization. The taint analysis indicates that all analyzed flows contain unsanitized paths, and while no critical or high severity issues were found in this specific analysis, this pattern is alarming and suggests potential for exploitation if data is not adequately validated and escaped. The lack of nonce checks and capability checks on any potential entry points (though none were identified) remains a blind spot, and the absence of these checks in general code is worrying.
Key Concerns
- 100% of SQL queries use raw SQL
- 100% of output is not properly escaped
- Taint analysis shows unsanitized paths
- No nonce checks detected
- No capability checks detected
