Is BarkingLlama Roulette Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100BarkingLlama Roulette has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "barkingllama-roulette" plugin v1.0.4 exhibits a generally positive security posture with some significant areas of concern. The plugin demonstrates excellent adherence to secure coding practices by exclusively using prepared statements for all SQL queries and ensuring all output is properly escaped. The absence of dangerous functions, file operations, and known vulnerabilities further strengthens its security. However, a critical risk is identified in the REST API, which has one route exposed without any permission callbacks, creating an unprotected entry point into the application. The lack of nonce checks on AJAX handlers, while currently zero, is a potential future vulnerability if any are introduced without proper checks. The vulnerability history being completely clear suggests good maintenance and review, but does not entirely mitigate the risk posed by the unprotected REST API endpoint.
Key Concerns
- REST API route without permission callbacks
- Unprotected entry points
- 0 Nonce checks on AJAX handlers (potential risk)
