MarkDown Block Security & Risk Analysis
wordpress.org/plugins/markdown-blockThis block converts Markdown documents into blocks for styling web pages.
Is MarkDown Block Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100MarkDown Block has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'markdown-block' plugin version 1.1.0 demonstrates a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified dangerous functions, SQL queries not using prepared statements, unescaped output, file operations, external HTTP requests, nonce checks, or capability checks on its entry points suggests diligent coding practices in these areas. Furthermore, the taint analysis reveals no identified flows with unsanitized paths, indicating a lack of critical or high-severity vulnerabilities originating from data manipulation. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerability history, which is a positive indicator of its ongoing security. However, the static analysis also reports zero entry points and zero unprotected entry points. While this is ideal, it also means there is no explicit evidence of how the plugin handles authentication and authorization for any potential, albeit currently undiscovered, entry points. The lack of any identified checks or handlers could indicate a very simple plugin with no user interaction or a significant gap in the analysis.
Key Concerns
- No explicit capability checks found
- No explicit nonce checks found
- No AJAX handlers with auth checks
- No REST API routes with permission callbacks
