Is Classic Blog Grid Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Classic Blog Grid has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'classic-blog-grid' plugin v1.9 exhibits a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices such as using prepared statements for all SQL queries and a relatively high percentage of output escaping (79%), several significant concerns emerge from the static analysis. The presence of seven AJAX handlers, with four lacking authentication checks, presents a substantial attack surface. This could allow unauthenticated users to trigger potentially sensitive actions. The limited number of nonce and capability checks further exacerbates this risk, as these are crucial for validating user intent and permissions.
Key Concerns
- Unprotected AJAX handlers
- Insufficient Nonce Checks
- Insufficient Capability Checks
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
