Is Canvas Image Resize Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Canvas Image Resize has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history, the "canvas-image-resize" plugin v1.0.1 exhibits a strong security posture with no detected vulnerabilities in its history or critical taint flows. The absence of dangerous functions, file operations, external HTTP requests, and the use of prepared statements for any SQL queries are positive indicators. Furthermore, the reported zero AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events suggest a minimal attack surface. However, a significant concern arises from the fact that 100% of its outputs are not properly escaped. This lack of output escaping presents a notable risk for cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, especially if any user-supplied data eventually finds its way into these outputs, even if current static analysis doesn't immediately flag it. The plugin's history of zero known CVEs is a positive sign, suggesting the developers have maintained a secure codebase to date, but the lack of output escaping is a critical oversight that needs immediate attention.
