Is Gmap Block Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Gmap Block has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history, the gmap-block plugin v1.2.3 exhibits a strong security posture. The code analysis reveals no detectable attack surface through common entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events. Furthermore, the code demonstrates excellent practice by having zero dangerous functions, zero file operations, zero external HTTP requests, and a complete absence of SQL queries that are not prepared statements. Output is also 100% properly escaped, and critical security features like nonce and capability checks are consistently absent, which is concerning as it implies no checks are needed because there are no entry points to protect. The vulnerability history is also clean, with zero known CVEs of any severity and no recorded common vulnerability types. This suggests a well-developed and secure plugin. However, the complete lack of any entry points or protective checks, while seemingly secure, is unusual. It raises questions about the plugin's actual functionality and whether it's intended to be used at all in its current form, or if there's a possibility of entry points being missed by the analysis. The absence of these checks, while not directly indicating a vulnerability in this specific analysis, points to a potential weakness if the plugin were to gain any functional entry points in the future.
Key Concerns
- Missing nonce checks implies lack of protection
- Missing capability checks implies lack of protection
