Is Modern Portfolio Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Modern Portfolio has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The modern-portfolio plugin v1.0, based on the provided static analysis, presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the plugin exhibits excellent security practices by having zero raw SQL queries, 100% of its SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, and no external HTTP requests or file operations. The attack surface appears controlled, with all entry points having checks, and no shortcodes or cron events adding complexity. The absence of known CVEs and a history of vulnerabilities is also a strong positive indicator. However, a significant concern lies in the output escaping. With 94 total outputs and only 37% properly escaped, a substantial portion of the plugin's output is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This lack of robust output sanitization represents the most critical risk identified in the static analysis, potentially allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into user interfaces.
Key Concerns
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
- No capability checks on entry points
