Risk Assessment

This plugin exhibits a generally good security posture based on the static analysis, with no detected dangerous functions, file operations, external requests, or SQL injection vulnerabilities. The use of prepared statements for all SQL queries is a significant strength. However, a notable concern is the low percentage (50%) of properly escaped outputs. This indicates a potential for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, particularly given the presence of a shortcode, which is a common entry point for user-supplied data that could be reflected in output.

Key Concerns

  • Half of outputs not properly escaped
  • No nonce checks on entry points
  • No capability checks on entry points
