Is Network Privacy Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Network Privacy has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "network-privacy" plugin v0.1.5 exhibits a generally positive security posture with no known historical vulnerabilities. The static analysis shows a small attack surface with no apparent entry points that are immediately exploitable without authentication. Furthermore, the plugin utilizes prepared statements for its SQL queries, which is a strong security practice against SQL injection. However, there are significant concerns regarding output escaping, with 0% of outputs being properly escaped. This indicates a high risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, as user-supplied data displayed on the frontend could be maliciously crafted to execute JavaScript in the user's browser. The presence of a "dangerous function" (create_function) is also a red flag, as this function is deprecated and can be a source of security issues if not handled with extreme care, though its usage here isn't directly tied to an identified exploit path. The complete absence of nonce checks and capability checks on the identified entry points (even though there are zero identified) is concerning if new entry points are introduced in future versions. The vulnerability history is a strength, suggesting diligent development or lack of targeted attacks, but it does not negate the risks identified in the current code. Overall, while the plugin is free from known exploits and has good SQL practices, the critical failure in output escaping presents a substantial immediate risk.
Key Concerns
- All outputs unescaped, high XSS risk
- Presence of dangerous function 'create_function'
- No nonce checks
- No capability checks
