Is Hidden Plugin Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Hidden Plugin has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin 'hidden-plugin' v1.0 exhibits a generally strong security posture, with no identified vulnerabilities in its history and a clean static analysis report regarding dangerous functions, SQL injection risks, and external requests. The absence of identified CVEs further reinforces this positive outlook. However, a notable concern arises from the low percentage of properly escaped output. With 12 total outputs analyzed and only 33% being properly escaped, there's a significant risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. While the plugin has a limited attack surface and no critical taint flows were detected, the lack of robust output escaping practices represents a tangible weakness that could be exploited. The presence of Select2, a bundled library, also introduces a potential risk if it's an outdated version, though its specific version is not provided for a definitive assessment.
Key Concerns
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
- Bundled library (Select2) potentially outdated
