Is Hover Preview Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 92/100Hover Preview has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'hover-preview' plugin version 1.1 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits the attack surface. Furthermore, the code demonstrates good practices with 100% of SQL queries using prepared statements, all output being properly escaped, and the presence of nonce and capability checks. The taint analysis also reveals no critical or high severity flows, indicating a lack of easily exploitable vulnerabilities in the code's handling of data. The plugin's vulnerability history is clean, with no recorded CVEs, further reinforcing its apparent security. Overall, this plugin appears to be well-developed from a security perspective. However, it's important to note that a complete security assessment would ideally involve a more extensive code review and dynamic analysis to catch potential vulnerabilities not apparent in static analysis alone, such as logic flaws or vulnerabilities in external dependencies if any were present.
