Is Book Now Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Book Now has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'book-now' plugin v1.5 presents a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events with unprotected entry points significantly limits the plugin's attack surface. Furthermore, the code signals indicate good development practices, with no dangerous functions, no file operations, no external HTTP requests, and SQL queries exclusively using prepared statements. The presence of nonce and capability checks, even if only one of each, is also a positive sign. Taint analysis showing zero flows with unsanitized paths further reinforces this positive assessment, indicating no obvious injection vulnerabilities. The plugin's vulnerability history is remarkably clean, with zero known CVEs, which suggests a history of secure development and diligent maintenance. However, the 76% output escaping rate, while decent, leaves a small room for potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if the unescaped outputs are user-controllable. This is the only notable weakness identified in the static analysis.
Key Concerns
- Output escaping is not 100%
