Is Dynamic Widget Content Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 99/100Dynamic Widget Content has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The dynamic-widget-content plugin v1.3.8 exhibits a mixed security posture. While the static analysis shows no exploitable attack surface in terms of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, and all SQL queries are prepared, there are significant concerns regarding output escaping. A substantial 70% of output is not properly escaped, indicating a high risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The vulnerability history reveals one past medium-severity XSS vulnerability, which, combined with the current unescaped output, suggests a recurring weakness in sanitizing user-provided data before it's displayed. Despite a lack of critical taint flows and dangerous functions in the current static analysis, the prevalence of unescaped output is a major red flag that could allow for malicious code injection.
Key Concerns
- Significant percentage of unescaped output detected
- Past medium severity XSS vulnerability
