CustomTables – Create, Read, Update, and Delete Security & Risk Analysis

The "customtables" plugin v1.7.1 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it has no recorded vulnerabilities (CVEs) and a good rate of using prepared statements for SQL queries (80%). The plugin also has a healthy number of nonce and capability checks, indicating an awareness of WordPress security best practices. However, there are significant areas of concern. A notable risk is the presence of one unprotected AJAX handler, which represents a direct entry point for potential attacks. Furthermore, all analyzed taint flows (8 out of 8) involved unsanitized paths, although they did not reach a critical or high severity level according to the analysis. The output escaping rate of 65% is also a weakness, leaving a substantial portion of outputs potentially vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) if malicious data is introduced.
