Is Modify Visual Editor Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Modify Visual Editor has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "modify-visual-editor" plugin v0.2.2 exhibits a mixed security posture. While the plugin demonstrates positive security practices by having a clean vulnerability history with no known CVEs and a minimal attack surface with no exposed entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or shortcodes, there are notable concerns arising from the static code analysis. The significant percentage of SQL queries not using prepared statements (83%) and a low rate of proper output escaping (25%) are substantial weaknesses that could lead to various vulnerabilities, including SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), if exploited. The taint analysis also identified two flows with unsanitized paths, which, despite being classified as low severity, indicate potential areas where user-supplied data might not be handled securely.
Key Concerns
- SQL queries not using prepared statements
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
- Taint flows with unsanitized paths
- No nonce checks implemented
- No capability checks implemented
