Is WPBot – AI ChatBot for Live Support, Lead Generation, AI Services Safe to Use in 2026?
Mostly Safe
Score 76/100WPBot – AI ChatBot for Live Support, Lead Generation, AI Services is generally safe to use. 38 past CVEs were resolved.
The "chatbot" plugin v7.8.9 presents a concerning security posture, despite some positive code hygiene indicators. While a significant portion of SQL queries utilize prepared statements and a majority of output is properly escaped, the plugin suffers from a large attack surface with a substantial number of unprotected AJAX handlers. The presence of "unserialize" as a dangerous function, coupled with five high-severity taint flows, suggests potential for critical vulnerabilities. The plugin's history of 33 known CVEs, including five critical and two high-severity ones, with common patterns like missing authorization, path traversal, and SQL injection, is a strong indicator of recurrent security weaknesses. The fact that the last vulnerability was reported in October 2025, even though it's currently unpatched, is also a red flag. Overall, the plugin exhibits a history of severe security flaws and possesses characteristics that make it a high-risk component.
