Risk Assessment

The "contact-form-7-charts" v1.0 plugin exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, there are no reported CVEs and the static analysis indicates no dangerous functions, file operations, external HTTP requests, or issues with taint analysis. The use of prepared statements for all SQL queries is also a strong security practice, mitigating the risk of SQL injection. However, a significant concern is the complete lack of output escaping for all identified outputs. This widespread issue presents a high risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, as user-supplied data displayed by the plugin could be manipulated to inject malicious scripts into the user's browser. Furthermore, the absence of nonce checks and capability checks on any potential entry points (though none were identified in this specific analysis) is a worrying pattern. While this version shows no direct vulnerabilities, the lack of fundamental security checks in its code signals potential weaknesses that could be exploited if new entry points were introduced or if the plugin's functionality were to change.

Key Concerns

  • 100% of outputs are not properly escaped
  • 0 nonce checks on entry points
  • 0 capability checks on entry points
