Is EventOn Connect Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100EventOn Connect has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'events-connector-event-on' plugin v1.1.0 presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it exhibits strong practices in handling SQL queries, utilizing prepared statements exclusively. The absence of known CVEs and a clean vulnerability history are also favorable indicators, suggesting a historically stable codebase.
However, the static analysis reveals significant areas for concern. The presence of two instances of the `unserialize` function is a critical risk, as unserialization of untrusted data can lead to remote code execution vulnerabilities. While the taint analysis shows no critical or high severity unsanitized paths, the `unserialize` function itself is a powerful tool that needs extremely careful handling, especially if the data being unserialized originates from user input. Furthermore, the plugin performs a high number of external HTTP requests (21), which could be a vector for various attacks if not properly validated or if the target endpoints are compromised. The capability checks are also notably absent, which is concerning given the potential for unauthorized actions if entry points were to be discovered.
Overall, while the plugin benefits from a clean vulnerability history and secure database practices, the risky `unserialize` function and lack of capability checks introduce substantial potential security weaknesses. The high number of external requests also warrants careful scrutiny to ensure proper validation and sanitization of any data involved.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function: unserialize used
- No capability checks
- High number of external HTTP requests
- Bundled library (Freemius v1.0) potentially outdated
