Is iSlidex Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100iSlidex has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "islidex" plugin v2.7.1 exhibits a mixed security posture. While the plugin has no known historical vulnerabilities and all SQL queries are prepared, significant concerns arise from the static analysis. A critical finding is that 0% of its 202 output operations are properly escaped, indicating a high risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Furthermore, all 3 analyzed taint flows have unsanitized paths, suggesting potential for data manipulation or unauthorized access, though no critical or high severity issues were flagged in the taint analysis itself. The absence of any nonce checks or capability checks across its entry points (2 shortcodes) is also a notable weakness, potentially allowing unauthorized actions within the context of logged-in users.
Key Concerns
- No output escaping detected
- All taint flows have unsanitized paths
- Missing nonce checks on entry points
- Missing capability checks on entry points
