Is Hash Checker Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Hash Checker has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "hashchecker" v1.2.2 plugin exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any known CVEs, unpatched vulnerabilities, or recorded common vulnerability types in its history is a significant positive indicator. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals no identified attack surface points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron events) and no use of dangerous functions. All SQL queries are properly prepared, and there are no external HTTP requests or taint analysis findings, which are all excellent security practices. However, a notable concern arises from the output escaping. With 4 total outputs and 0% properly escaped, this presents a significant risk. Insufficient output escaping can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into the website, potentially compromising user sessions or defacing the site. While other security aspects are well-handled, this single area of weakness warrants attention and mitigation.
