Is MetaMax Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100MetaMax has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The Metamax v1.1.1 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events significantly limits the plugin's attack surface, and crucially, there are no identified unprotected entry points. The code also demonstrates good practices with 100% of SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, and a lack of dangerous functions, file operations, external HTTP requests, and bundled libraries. This indicates a conscientious approach to development, prioritizing security by design.
