Risk Assessment

The "front-end-login-form" v0.2 plugin exhibits a concerning security posture despite having no known historical vulnerabilities or dangerous function usage. While the plugin demonstrates good practices by exclusively using prepared statements for SQL queries and avoiding external HTTP requests and file operations, significant weaknesses are present. The static analysis reveals that 100% of output is not properly escaped, which is a critical flaw. Furthermore, the taint analysis found two flows with unsanitized paths, both categorized as high severity, indicating potential for attackers to inject malicious data that could be processed without proper cleaning. The lack of any nonce or capability checks across all entry points, including the single shortcode, is a major oversight, leaving the plugin vulnerable to various injection and unauthorized access attacks.

Key Concerns

  • 100% of output is not properly escaped
  • 2 high severity taint flows with unsanitized paths
  • 0 nonce checks on entry points
  • 0 capability checks on entry points
