Is Hello Stranger Things Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Hello Stranger Things has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "hello-stranger-things" plugin v0.2 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of detected AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits the attack surface. Furthermore, the complete absence of dangerous functions, file operations, external HTTP requests, and SQL queries not using prepared statements are excellent indicators of secure coding practices. The plugin also demonstrates no recorded vulnerabilities in its history, which is a positive sign. However, a critical concern emerges from the output escaping: 100% of detected outputs are not properly escaped. This presents a significant risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if any user-controlled input is rendered directly in the frontend without sanitization. The lack of nonce and capability checks also means that if any functionality were to be introduced that could be triggered externally, it would be unprotected.
Key Concerns
- 100% of outputs unescaped
- No nonce checks
- No capability checks
