Is GW Chart Builder Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100GW Chart Builder has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "gw-chart-builder" plugin v1.0.1 presents a generally positive security posture based on the static analysis, with no identified critical or high-severity issues in taint analysis, dangerous functions, or raw SQL queries. The use of prepared statements for all SQL queries is a strong security practice. The presence of nonce and capability checks on the identified entry points is also commendable, indicating an effort to control access and prevent common cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. However, a significant concern arises from the output escaping, where only 56% of the 72 identified outputs are properly escaped. This leaves a substantial portion of the plugin's output potentially vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into the user's browser. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history is a good sign, suggesting a stable codebase, but this should not overshadow the present risk of unescaped output.
