Risk Assessment

The "email-notification-on-login" plugin version 1.7.0 presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the static analysis shows no direct attack surface in terms of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, and all SQL queries utilize prepared statements. However, a significant concern is the low percentage (25%) of properly escaped output, indicating a potential for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The absence of nonces on any entry points, while not explicitly a risk given the limited attack surface, is a missed security best practice that could be problematic if new entry points were added without proper security controls. The vulnerability history is a major red flag, with one known medium severity CVE for XSS that remains unpatched. This suggests a history of security weaknesses that are not being adequately addressed, posing a real risk to users.

Key Concerns

  • Unpatched Medium Severity CVE
  • Low percentage of properly escaped output
