Is Archiver Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Archiver has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'archiver' plugin version 1.0.5 exhibits a generally good security posture, with no known past vulnerabilities and a commitment to secure coding practices like prepared SQL statements and nonce checks. The static analysis reveals a small attack surface with no exposed entry points lacking authentication. However, there are notable areas of concern. The presence of a dangerous `create_function` call is a significant red flag, as it can lead to arbitrary code execution if improperly handled. Furthermore, the taint analysis identified two flows with unsanitized paths, suggesting potential vulnerabilities related to file handling or input validation, even though they are not categorized as critical or high severity in this analysis. The external HTTP requests also warrant attention, as they could be vectors for further attacks if not properly secured.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function used (create_function)
- Taint flows with unsanitized paths
- External HTTP requests present
- Output escaping not fully implemented
