Is Apocalypse Meow Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 93/100Apocalypse Meow has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The "apocalypse-meow" v23.0.0 plugin exhibits a concerning security posture despite a seemingly clean static analysis of its attack surface and taint flows. While the code signals indicate no directly exploitable dangerous functions, file operations, or external requests, the significant absence of nonce checks and capability checks across all entry points is a major red flag. The fact that 100% of SQL queries are not using prepared statements is a critical vulnerability, leaving the plugin highly susceptible to SQL injection attacks. This is further corroborated by its vulnerability history, which includes a critical SQL injection vulnerability and a medium vulnerability related to weak password encoding. The existence of two known CVEs, one critical, indicates a history of severe security flaws. The late date of the last vulnerability (2026) suggests either a placeholder or a future discovered vulnerability, but the pattern of past issues is concerning. Although the static analysis shows no current taint issues, the lack of fundamental security checks and the historical prevalence of SQL injection mean this plugin should be approached with extreme caution. The plugin's strengths lie in its limited attack surface in terms of entry points and lack of external dependencies, but these are overshadowed by the critical lack of security in its core functionalities.
Key Concerns
- 100% of SQL queries lack prepared statements
