Is Image Blur Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Image Blur has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the static analysis and vulnerability history, the 'image-blur' plugin version 3.0.2 exhibits a strong security posture with no reported vulnerabilities or significant code signals of concern. The absence of detected dangerous functions, SQL injection risks due to prepared statements, and properly escaped output are all positive indicators. Furthermore, the plugin has a minimal attack surface with no identified entry points that lack authorization checks, and there are no indications of problematic taint flows. The clean vulnerability history with zero known CVEs reinforces this assessment, suggesting a well-maintained and secure plugin.
While the static analysis reveals no immediate threats, the complete lack of capability checks and nonce checks across all identified entry points (even if there are none currently exposed) represents a potential weakness. If any new entry points were to be introduced in future versions, the absence of these fundamental security measures could create vulnerabilities. However, given the current state, the plugin appears to be highly secure and adheres to good coding practices for the analyzed version.
