wordpress.org/plugins/lightning-advanced-unitThis is a plug-ins that extend the functionality of the theme "Lightning".
Is Lightning Advanced Unit Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Lightning Advanced Unit has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The static analysis of the "lightning-advanced-unit" v3.4.1 plugin reveals a generally positive security posture, with no identified attack surface entry points such as AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events. The code also shows good practices in its handling of SQL queries, all of which use prepared statements, and a complete absence of file operations and external HTTP requests. However, a significant concern arises from the output escaping, where only 34% of the 103 identified outputs are properly escaped, leaving a substantial portion potentially vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history further strengthens the perception of a secure plugin, suggesting diligent development and maintenance. The absence of taint analysis flows and dangerous functions is also a positive indicator. Despite the lack of direct entry points, the insufficient output escaping represents a notable risk that should be addressed.
