Risk Assessment

The "attendance-list" plugin version 1.1 exhibits a generally strong security posture with several good practices observed. The absence of dangerous functions, file operations, and external HTTP requests, coupled with a high percentage of properly escaped output, indicates a conscious effort towards secure coding. Furthermore, the lack of known vulnerabilities in its history is a positive sign, suggesting a history of stable and secure development. The plugin also has a very small attack surface, consisting of only one shortcode entry point. However, concerns arise from the absence of nonce checks and capability checks across all entry points. While the static analysis found no critical or high severity taint flows, the presence of a flow with unsanitized paths, even if not categorized as critical, warrants attention. The SQL query usage is also mixed, with 40% not using prepared statements, which could be a potential avenue for SQL injection if data is not sufficiently sanitized before reaching these queries.

Key Concerns

  • No nonce checks
  • No capability checks
  • Flows with unsanitized paths
  • SQL queries not using prepared statements
