Is Network Restricted Members Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Network Restricted Members has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The static analysis of the "network-restricted-members" plugin v0.3.1 reveals a generally good security posture. There are no identified dangerous functions, all SQL queries utilize prepared statements, and all identified output is properly escaped. Furthermore, the plugin has no recorded vulnerabilities or CVEs, indicating a clean security history. However, the complete absence of nonces, capability checks, and the lack of any identified entry points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron) is concerning. While it suggests a minimal attack surface, it also implies that the plugin might not have any interactive features that would typically require these security measures. This could mean the plugin is either very basic or its functionality is not being fully captured by the static analysis. The total lack of identified taint flows also suggests limited data processing that could be vulnerable. Overall, the plugin exhibits good coding practices for the elements analyzed, but the minimal feature set and lack of security checks for potential interactive elements warrant a cautious approach, as the analysis might not fully represent the plugin's complete functionality.
Key Concerns
- No nonce checks identified
