Is iFrame Block Safe to Use in 2026?
Mostly Safe
Score 78/100iFrame Block is generally safe to use. 1 past CVE were resolved. Keep it updated.
The "iframe-block" plugin version 0.1.1 presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the static code analysis reveals no immediately apparent vulnerabilities within the analyzed code itself. There are no dangerous functions, all SQL queries are prepared, and all outputs are properly escaped. Furthermore, the plugin exhibits a limited attack surface with no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that are exposed without authentication or permission checks.
However, a significant concern arises from the plugin's vulnerability history. The existence of one known unpatched CVE, categorized as medium severity and identified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS), overshadows the positive static analysis. This indicates that while the current code might not exhibit immediate flaws, a past vulnerability that remains unresolved poses a direct and present risk to users. The fact that the last vulnerability was in the future (2025-08-19) is likely a data anomaly or error in the provided information, but the existence of an unpatched CVE remains a critical point of attention.
In conclusion, while the "iframe-block" plugin version 0.1.1 demonstrates good practices in its code structure, the presence of an unpatched medium-severity XSS vulnerability necessitates caution. Users should be aware that even if the current code appears clean, the unresolved historical vulnerability could be exploited. The plugin's strengths lie in its minimal attack surface and internal code hygiene, but its primary weakness is the unpatched historical vulnerability.
