Is Bootstrap Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Bootstrap has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin 'bootstrap' v0.3.1 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any identified dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, or significant output escaping issues is a positive indicator. The plugin also demonstrates a commendable lack of known vulnerabilities, including critical or high severity ones, and no recent security incidents have been recorded. This suggests a well-maintained and securely coded plugin.
However, there are a few areas that, while not immediately indicating a critical risk, could be improved. The complete absence of nonce checks and capability checks across all identified entry points (even though the attack surface is zero) is noteworthy. While the current analysis shows no unprotected entry points, future development or a change in how the plugin interacts with WordPress core could introduce vulnerabilities if these checks are not implemented as a standard practice. The presence of file operations, though not quantified in terms of risk, warrants attention if the operations are not strictly controlled and validated.
Overall, 'bootstrap' v0.3.1 appears to be a secure plugin with no immediate exploitable vulnerabilities. Its vulnerability history is clean, and the code analysis reveals good practices in areas like SQL querying and output escaping. The primary areas for potential future improvement lie in incorporating standard WordPress security measures like nonce and capability checks as a proactive measure against potential future security risks.
