Is Modal Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Modal has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "modal" plugin v1.0.7 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of dangerous functions, SQL injection risks due to prepared statements, and a lack of file operations or external HTTP requests are all positive indicators. Furthermore, the data shows 100% proper output escaping, meaning reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) is unlikely to be an issue.
The attack surface is minimal, with only one shortcode identified and no unprotected entry points. The taint analysis reporting zero flows, especially those with unsanitized paths or critical/high severity, is a significant strength. The plugin's vulnerability history is also completely clean, with no known CVEs, which suggests a history of secure development and maintenance.
Overall, the "modal" plugin v1.0.7 appears to be a very secure option. The primary area of potential, albeit minor, concern from the static analysis is the presence of a shortcode with no explicit mention of capability checks or nonce validation directly associated with its processing. While the overall entry points are low and unprotected ones are zero, shortcodes can sometimes be an avenue for unintended behavior if not properly secured. However, given the other strong signals, this is a very low risk.
