Is Curved Text Block Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Curved Text Block has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "curved-text-block" plugin version 0.1.0 exhibits a remarkably clean static analysis report, indicating strong adherence to secure coding practices. There are no identified dangerous functions, all SQL queries are properly prepared, and all output is correctly escaped. The absence of file operations, external HTTP requests, and vulnerability history further contributes to a positive security posture. The plugin also demonstrates a minimal attack surface with zero AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, and notably, none of these entry points are left unprotected.
However, the analysis reveals a complete absence of nonce checks and capability checks. While the current lack of exposed entry points means this is not an immediate critical vulnerability, it represents a significant potential weakness. If any new entry points are introduced in future versions, or if existing (though currently absent) ones are ever exposed, the lack of these fundamental security mechanisms will leave the plugin highly vulnerable to unauthorized actions and privilege escalation attacks. The zero taint flows and zero known CVEs are excellent indicators, but the lack of capability and nonce checks is a glaring oversight that needs to be addressed proactively.
