Is Floating Admin Button Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Floating Admin Button has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'floating-admin-button' plugin v1.1.2 presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it demonstrates good practices by not utilizing dangerous functions, performing all SQL queries using prepared statements, and having no recorded vulnerabilities or CVEs. However, significant concerns arise from its attack surface. The plugin exposes a single AJAX handler without any authentication or capability checks. While the taint analysis did not reveal critical or high severity unsanitized paths, the presence of two flows with unsanitized paths, coupled with the unprotected AJAX endpoint, creates a potential avenue for exploitation. This means an unauthenticated attacker could potentially trigger this AJAX handler and influence its execution.
Key Concerns
- AJAX handler without auth checks
- Flows with unsanitized paths
- Low output escaping coverage
