Is Posts Order Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Posts Order has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The category-custom-post-order plugin, version 1.5.0, presents a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis. The complete absence of an attack surface, including AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events, is a significant strength. Furthermore, the lack of identified dangerous functions, file operations, and external HTTP requests contributes positively. The code signals indicate a commendable effort in output escaping (87% properly escaped) and the presence of a nonce check. However, the lack of capability checks is a notable concern, as it suggests that any entry points, even if not immediately apparent from the static analysis, might not have proper authorization enforced. The SQL query practices are also mixed, with 50% not using prepared statements, which presents a potential risk for SQL injection if those queries handle user-supplied data.
Key Concerns
- SQL queries not using prepared statements
