Is Expandable/Collapsible Menu Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Expandable/Collapsible Menu has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "netgo-expandablecollapsible-menu" plugin version 1.0.0 demonstrates an exceptionally small attack surface, with no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events. This significantly limits the potential entry points for malicious actors. Furthermore, the plugin shows good practices regarding SQL queries, utilizing prepared statements exclusively, and has no recorded vulnerability history, suggesting a history of secure development. However, the static analysis does reveal a concerning use of the `create_function` dangerous function, which can be prone to security risks if not handled with extreme care. Additionally, only 10% of output escaping is properly implemented, indicating a potential for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is directly outputted without sufficient sanitization. The absence of nonce checks and capability checks on any potential (though currently zero) entry points is also a weakness.
Key Concerns
- Uses dangerous function `create_function`
- Low output escaping percentage (10%)
- No nonce checks on entry points
- No capability checks on entry points
