Is Goodbye Bar! Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Goodbye Bar! 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 'goodbye-bar' plugin v1.5 exhibits a generally positive security posture. The absence of known CVEs and the complete absence of dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, file operations, and external HTTP requests are strong indicators of secure development practices. The plugin also demonstrates a limited attack surface with no exposed AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or shortcodes, which are common entry points for vulnerabilities. However, there are areas for improvement. The low percentage of properly escaped output (11%) is a significant concern, as it indicates a risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the lack of nonce checks on any of its entry points, coupled with only one capability check, suggests potential for unauthorized actions or information disclosure if any new entry points are introduced or if existing ones are exploited in conjunction with other weaknesses. The lack of taint analysis results might also mean that such complex vulnerability paths were not examined.
Key Concerns
- Low output escaping (11%)
- No nonce checks on entry points
- Only 1 capability check found
