Is Keyboard Save Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Keyboard Save has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "keyboard-save" v1.1 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The plugin has no identified entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, which significantly reduces its attack surface. Furthermore, it demonstrates good coding practices by avoiding dangerous functions, performing all SQL queries with prepared statements, and not making external HTTP requests or file operations. The absence of any vulnerability history, including known CVEs, suggests a well-maintained and secure plugin. However, the analysis does highlight a potential area for concern with output escaping, where only 50% of identified outputs are properly escaped, leaving room for potential cross-site scripting vulnerabilities if the unescaped outputs handle user-supplied data. The lack of any recorded nonce or capability checks, while not directly a vulnerability given the zero attack surface, could become a concern if functionality is ever added without implementing proper authorization.
