Is gPano Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100gPano has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "gpano" plugin v1.3 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the provided static analysis. It demonstrates strong practices by having no dangerous functions, no raw SQL queries, and no external HTTP requests. The absence of known CVEs and a clean vulnerability history are also significant strengths, suggesting a mature and well-maintained plugin. However, the static analysis reveals a key area of concern: only 26% of output is properly escaped, despite 35 total outputs. This indicates a moderate risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is not adequately sanitized before being displayed. While there are no critical taint flows or unsanitized paths identified, the lack of input validation or sanitization on the single shortcode, which represents an entry point, could still be exploited if it handles user-provided data. The plugin's attack surface is minimal, with no unprotected entry points, which is commendable.
Key Concerns
- Low output escaping percentage
- Potential XSS via shortcode without input validation
