Is Never Outdated Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Never Outdated has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "never-outdated" plugin v1.0.2 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the static analysis provided. The absence of identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events significantly limits its attack surface. Furthermore, the plugin demonstrates good practice by exclusively using prepared statements for any SQL queries, and the absence of known vulnerabilities in its history is a positive indicator. However, a significant concern is the complete lack of output escaping across all identified output points. This means that any data processed by the plugin and then displayed to users, either directly or indirectly, could be susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks if that data contains malicious code. The lack of nonce checks, while not directly exploitable given the lack of AJAX/REST API entry points, is a missed security opportunity if such functionalities were to be added in the future without proper authentication checks.
Key Concerns
- Outputs are not properly escaped
- No nonce checks on potential entry points
