Is Crazy Lazy Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Crazy Lazy has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "crazy-lazy" v1.2.0 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events significantly limits the potential attack surface. Furthermore, the code signals indicate good development practices, with all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements and all output being properly escaped. The presence of capability checks, even if minimal, is also a positive sign. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities, including critical or high-severity ones, suggests a well-maintained and secure codebase over time.
While the absence of taint analysis flows with unsanitized paths and dangerous functions is encouraging, it's important to note that the static analysis did not identify any flows to analyze. This might mean the plugin is very simple or that the analysis tools had limitations. The complete absence of known CVEs and a clean vulnerability history strongly suggests that the plugin has not been a target or has a proven track record of security. Overall, this plugin appears to be secure and well-developed, with no immediate red flags raised by the provided data.
