Is IAF Social Share Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100IAF Social Share has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The iaf-social-share plugin version 1.2.1 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the static analysis. The absence of dangerous functions, SQL queries executed without prepared statements, and no identified taint flows suggest robust coding practices. Furthermore, the plugin demonstrates good security hygiene by implementing nonce and capability checks, and properly escaping a high percentage (77%) of its output. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerabilities (CVEs), which is a significant positive indicator. The primary area of potential concern lies within the file operations, as the static analysis does not provide details on how these operations are handled. Without further context, it's difficult to assess the risk associated with these two file operations. However, given the overall clean analysis and lack of historical vulnerabilities, the plugin appears to be well-maintained and secure. The limited attack surface and minimal entry points further contribute to its low risk profile.
Key Concerns
- Potential risk in file operations without detailed analysis
- Some output is not properly escaped
