Is Awesome Google Maps Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Awesome Google Maps has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "awesome-google-maps" v1.0.0 plugin exhibits a concerning security posture primarily due to a complete lack of output escaping. While the plugin boasts a zero attack surface, zero dangerous functions, and all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, the fact that 100% of its 25 outputs are unescaped presents a significant risk. This indicates a high likelihood of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into the website's content or administration interface. The absence of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history might suggest it hasn't been a target or has been overlooked, but this cannot be relied upon as a measure of current security. The plugin's strengths lie in its limited attack surface and secure database interactions, but the critical flaw in output sanitization overshadows these positives. A balanced conclusion is that while the plugin avoids common pitfalls like raw SQL or unauthenticated entry points, its failure to properly escape output makes it a high-risk component that requires immediate attention.
