My Maps Security & Risk Analysis
wordpress.org/plugins/my-mapsMy Maps is a simple and lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to easily embed Google Maps on your site using shortcodes.
Is My Maps Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100My Maps has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "my-maps" plugin v1.1.3 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the provided static analysis. A significant strength is the absence of any critical or high-severity vulnerabilities identified through taint analysis, and no known CVEs are recorded, suggesting a mature and well-maintained codebase. The plugin also avoids dangerous functions and file operations, and does not make external HTTP requests, all of which reduce potential attack vectors. The presence of nonce checks and a moderate percentage of SQL queries using prepared statements are also good indicators. However, there are areas for improvement. The lack of capability checks on any entry points, combined with the presence of two shortcodes, represents a potential weakness. While no unescaped outputs were flagged as critical or high, over half of the outputs are not properly escaped, which could lead to XSS vulnerabilities in certain scenarios. The moderate rate of prepared statement usage for SQL queries means some queries might be susceptible to SQL injection if input is not adequately sanitized elsewhere.
Key Concerns
- No capability checks on entry points
- Over 45% of output not properly escaped
- Less than 100% SQL prepared statements
