matchHeight Security & Risk Analysis
wordpress.org/plugins/matchheightThis plugin adds the matchHeight jQuery plugin which makes the height of all selected elements exactly equal.
Is matchHeight Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100matchHeight has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "matchheight" plugin v1.2.0 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. It has no identified entry points such as AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that are exposed without authentication checks. Furthermore, the code signals indicate a lack of dangerous functions and all SQL queries are properly prepared, which are excellent security practices. The plugin also demonstrates a commitment to input and output validation with a capability check present and a good percentage of outputs being properly escaped, and no file operations or external HTTP requests are detected.
While the static analysis reveals no critical or high-severity taint flows and an absence of known vulnerabilities in its history, there is a minor concern regarding the output escaping. Only 50% of the total outputs are properly escaped, meaning there's a potential risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if the remaining outputs are used in contexts where user-supplied data is not adequately sanitized or escaped. However, given the lack of other apparent attack vectors and the clean vulnerability history, this concern is relatively contained. Overall, "matchheight" v1.2.0 appears to be a securely developed plugin, with the primary area for improvement being the complete proper escaping of all output.
