Is MooTools Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100MooTools has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "mootools" v1.0.3.4 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of dangerous functions, SQL queries, file operations, and external HTTP requests, coupled with 100% prepared statements for any potential SQL and 100% output escaping, indicates a well-written codebase with respect to these common vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the plugin has no recorded vulnerabilities (CVEs), suggesting a history of stability and security. The limited attack surface, consisting of a single shortcode with no identified entry points lacking authentication or permission checks, further bolsters its security. The complete lack of taint analysis findings, including critical and high severity issues, further reinforces this positive assessment.
