Is Page scroll to id Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 99/100Page scroll to id has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The "page-scroll-to-id" plugin, version 1.7.9, exhibits a mixed security posture. On one hand, it demonstrates good practices with a very small attack surface, no identified cron events, and nearly all output being properly escaped. The presence of nonce and capability checks is also positive. However, the use of the deprecated `create_function` is a significant concern, as this function is known to be a potential source of security vulnerabilities due to its dynamic code execution capabilities and lack of strict sandboxing. Additionally, the plugin's history includes two medium-severity vulnerabilities, both related to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). While currently unpatched CVEs are zero, the recurring nature of XSS vulnerabilities suggests a pattern that requires attention and careful review of input handling, even with the generally good output escaping scores.
Key Concerns
- Usage of dangerous function: create_function
- Raw SQL query without prepared statements
- Two medium severity CVEs in history
- Bundled library (TinyMCE) might be outdated
