wordpress.org/plugins/mw-authThis plugin allows only users to authenticate to WordPress.
Is MW Auth Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100MW Auth has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "mw-auth" v1.2 plugin exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. There are no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, resulting in a zero attack surface. This lack of entry points significantly minimizes the potential for external interaction and exploitation. Furthermore, the code analysis indicates a clean codebase with no dangerous functions, no raw SQL queries, all output properly escaped, no file operations, and no external HTTP requests. The presence of capability checks suggests an awareness of authorization, although the absence of nonce checks on the zero AJAX handlers is noted but is not a direct risk due to their non-existence. The vulnerability history is also pristine, with zero known CVEs, indicating a history of secure development and maintenance. This overall lack of identified weaknesses and a clean history points to a highly secure plugin. However, it's important to note that the absence of specific security mechanisms like nonce checks, while not currently a risk, could become one if new entry points were introduced in future versions without corresponding security measures. The current assessment, based on the provided data, is that the plugin is exceptionally secure.
