Is Notifications Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Notifications has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history, the 'notifications' plugin v1.1.3 exhibits a strong security posture. The absence of any identified attack surface points, dangerous functions, file operations, or external HTTP requests is a significant positive. Furthermore, all SQL queries are prepared, and there are no recorded vulnerabilities or CVEs, suggesting a well-maintained and secure codebase. This lack of known issues and attack vectors indicates a robust development process focused on security. The primary area for improvement lies in output escaping, where 35% of outputs are not properly escaped. While there are no direct indicators of immediate exploitation due to this, it represents a potential risk for cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is involved in these unescaped outputs. Despite this, the overall assessment is positive, with a strong foundation of secure coding practices.
