Risk Assessment

The 'create-own-shortcode' plugin v1.0 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on static analysis, with no reported CVEs or critical/high severity vulnerabilities found in its history. The code analysis reveals good practices regarding output escaping, with 80% of outputs properly handled. The absence of file operations and external HTTP requests also mitigates common attack vectors. However, the plugin demonstrates significant weaknesses in secure coding practices. The high percentage of SQL queries (50%) that do not utilize prepared statements presents a clear risk of SQL injection vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the complete lack of nonce checks and capability checks is a major concern, especially if the plugin were to introduce any new entry points or handlers in the future. While no critical taint flows were identified, the 100% unsanitized paths in the analyzed flows suggest potential for unexpected behavior or vulnerabilities if data sources are not strictly controlled. The vulnerability history, while clean, is a snapshot and doesn't guarantee future security.

Key Concerns

  • SQL queries without prepared statements
  • Missing nonce checks
  • Missing capability checks
  • Unsanitized paths in taint flows
  • Less than 100% output escaping
