Is LH Tools Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100LH Tools has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "lh-tools" plugin v0.15 presents a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices like using prepared statements for all SQL queries and having no known CVEs, significant concerns arise from its static analysis. The complete absence of nonce checks and capability checks, coupled with the presence of the `exec` dangerous function and unsanitized path taint flows, creates potential avenues for malicious exploitation. The fact that 100% of its outputs are not properly escaped is also a serious weakness, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The plugin has no recorded vulnerability history, which is a positive sign, but this cannot fully mitigate the risks identified in the current code. The limited attack surface and zero unprotected entry points are commendable, but the identified code signals and taint analysis suggest that if an attacker could find a way to trigger these flaws, the impact could be severe.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function `exec` found
- Unsanitized path taint flows found (2 high severity)
- No nonce checks present
- No capability checks present
- 0% output properly escaped
- 2 file operations found
- 2 external HTTP requests found
