Is Embed Webmap Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Embed Webmap has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "embed-webmap" plugin version 2.0.4 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of dangerous functions, SQL queries executed without prepared statements, and properly escaped output are all positive indicators. Furthermore, the plugin avoids file operations and external HTTP requests, minimizing potential attack vectors. The vulnerability history is completely clean, with no known CVEs, suggesting a well-maintained and secure codebase.
Despite these strengths, the analysis does reveal areas for potential improvement. While the total number of entry points is low, the presence of a shortcode without explicitly documented capability checks or nonce checks raises a minor concern. The static analysis also reports zero taint flows and zero unsanitized paths, which is excellent, but this could also be an artifact of the analysis not being able to effectively trace all possible data flows in this specific plugin. The overall lack of capability checks and nonce checks across the identified entry points, even though the attack surface is small, warrants attention for maximum security.
Key Concerns
- Shortcode lacks explicit capability checks
