Risk Assessment

The "livestream-embedder" v1.0.0 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of dangerous functions, external HTTP requests, file operations, and the consistent use of prepared statements for SQL queries are excellent indicators of secure coding practices. Furthermore, the high percentage of properly escaped output and the presence of nonce checks, even with no direct AJAX handlers identified, suggest careful consideration for preventing common web vulnerabilities. The lack of any recorded CVEs, past or present, further reinforces the plugin's current security reliability.

Key Concerns

  • No capability checks for shortcode
  • Low output escaping coverage (94%)
