Is langly Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100langly has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "langly" plugin version 1.0.1 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. All identified entry points, which consist solely of a single shortcode, do not have explicit authorization checks noted, but the absence of other entry points like AJAX handlers or REST API routes significantly limits the potential attack surface. The code demonstrates excellent security practices, with 100% of SQL queries using prepared statements and all output properly escaped, eliminating common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. The absence of dangerous functions, file operations, external HTTP requests, and bundled libraries further bolsters its security. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities or CVEs in its history, including no critical or high-severity issues, suggests a well-maintained and secure codebase. However, the sole shortcode lacking an explicit capability check represents a minor concern, as it could potentially be invoked by any user if its functionality is sensitive. Despite this minor oversight, the plugin is generally very secure.
