Is jQuery UI Widgets Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100jQuery UI Widgets has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'jquery-ui-widgets' plugin version 0.60 exhibits a generally weak security posture, despite the absence of explicitly identified vulnerabilities in its history. The static analysis reveals a significant concern: 100% of its output is not properly escaped. This is a critical flaw, as it opens the door to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. Furthermore, the complete lack of nonce and capability checks on its entry points, although the entry points themselves are reported as zero, suggests a potential for privilege escalation or unauthorized actions if any entry points were to be inadvertently introduced or enabled in the future. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerability history, which could indicate a lack of rigorous security auditing or that it has simply not been targeted or analyzed thoroughly. While the absence of SQL injection risks due to prepared statements and the lack of file operations or external requests are positive signs, the pervasive output escaping issue represents a substantial and immediate risk.
Key Concerns
- 0% output escaping
- 0 capability checks on entry points
- 0 nonce checks on entry points
