Is Icon Fonts Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Icon Fonts has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'icon-fonts' plugin v1.0.0 exhibits a generally strong security posture, primarily due to the absence of known vulnerabilities and a lack of exploitable attack surface. The code signals indicate a conscious effort towards secure coding, with all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements. However, a significant concern arises from the complete lack of proper output escaping for all 29 identified output instances. This suggests that user-supplied data or dynamic content rendered by the plugin might be vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as the output is not being sanitized before being displayed to the user. The vulnerability history is clean, with no recorded CVEs, which is a positive indicator, but it doesn't negate the immediate risks identified in the static analysis.
