Is Forethemes Functions Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Forethemes Functions has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin 'forethemes-functions' v1.0.0 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any detected entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly reduces its attack surface. Furthermore, the code doesn't utilize dangerous functions, performs SQL queries using prepared statements exclusively, and avoids file operations and external HTTP requests. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history is also a positive indicator. However, a significant concern is that 50% of the output operations are not properly escaped. This could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is outputted without proper sanitization, especially since there are no capability checks or nonce checks to protect these output points.
Key Concerns
- Half of output operations are not properly escaped
- No nonce checks implemented
- No capability checks implemented
