Is Keyboard Scroll Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Keyboard Scroll has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'keyboard-scroll' plugin v1.05 exhibits a generally good security posture, with no known vulnerabilities in its history and a limited attack surface. The static analysis reveals a responsible approach to database interactions, with all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, and a lack of dangerous functions, file operations, or external HTTP requests. The presence of capability checks is also a positive indicator. However, a significant concern arises from the taint analysis, which identified one flow with unsanitized paths. While no critical or high severity issues were flagged in the taint analysis, unsanitized paths can be an entry point for various attacks, especially if the plugin interacts with user-supplied data in any way not fully revealed by this analysis. Furthermore, the low rate of proper output escaping (25%) is a notable weakness. This means that a significant portion of the plugin's output might be susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, which can be exploited to compromise user sessions or inject malicious content.
Key Concerns
- Unsanitized path in taint flow
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
