Is Clippings Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Clippings has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "clippings" v1.0 plugin exhibits a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices by exclusively using prepared statements for SQL queries and having no known past vulnerabilities, several areas raise concerns. The presence of two REST API routes without permission callbacks significantly expands the attack surface and represents a direct vulnerability to unauthorized access and potential manipulation of data exposed through these endpoints. Furthermore, the taint analysis revealing three flows with unsanitized paths, even if not classified as critical or high severity in the static analysis, indicates a potential for path traversal or other file-related vulnerabilities that could be exploited if these paths are user-controlled inputs.
Key Concerns
- REST API routes without permission callbacks
- Unsanitized paths in taint analysis
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
