Is Lean Video and Audio Player Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Lean Video and Audio Player has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "lean-video-and-audio-player" v1.0.1 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the provided static analysis. It demonstrates good practices by avoiding dangerous functions, performing all SQL queries using prepared statements, and not making external HTTP requests or file operations. The absence of known vulnerabilities and a clean vulnerability history are significant strengths. However, there are notable areas of concern. A substantial portion of output (60%) is not properly escaped, which presents a risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is directly outputted. Furthermore, the lack of nonce checks and capability checks on its entry points, specifically the two shortcodes, is a critical oversight. While the attack surface itself is small, these unprotected entry points could be exploited to trigger unintended actions within the plugin's functionality, potentially leading to various security issues.
Key Concerns
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
- Missing nonce checks on entry points
- Missing capability checks on entry points
