Risk Assessment

The "calculator-blocks" plugin v1.0.3 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any known CVEs, a clean vulnerability history, and a lack of dangerous functions or file operations are strong indicators of good security practices during development. Furthermore, the strict use of prepared statements for all SQL queries and the presence of a nonce check are commendable. However, a significant concern arises from the output escaping. With 55% of outputs properly escaped, it means a substantial 45% of outputs are not, leaving them potentially vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks if user-supplied data is displayed without proper sanitization. The lack of capability checks on any entry points also presents a weakness, as it means that even users without specific permissions could potentially trigger plugin functionalities if an attack vector were found.

Key Concerns

  • Percentage of unescaped output is high
  • No capability checks on entry points
