Is Beyond Identity Passwordless Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Beyond Identity Passwordless has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "beyond-identity-passwordless" plugin v1.0.0 exhibits several security concerns despite a lack of recorded vulnerabilities. The static analysis reveals an attack surface with 3 out of 5 entry points lacking proper authentication or permission checks. Specifically, 2 AJAX handlers and 1 REST API route are exposed without these critical security measures. While the code signals indicate a good practice of using prepared statements for SQL queries and proper output escaping, the absence of nonce checks and capability checks on AJAX requests is a significant weakness. The taint analysis showing no flows is positive, but it may be limited by the depth of the analysis. The complete absence of recorded vulnerabilities in the history is a strength, suggesting either good development practices or that the plugin hasn't been a target. However, the exposed entry points present a clear risk of unauthorized access or manipulation if exploited.
Key Concerns
- AJAX handlers without auth checks
- REST API routes without permission callbacks
- Nonce checks missing on AJAX handlers
- Capability checks missing on AJAX handlers
