Is PageManager Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100PageManager has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "pagemanager" plugin v1.0.9 exhibits a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices like 100% use of prepared statements for SQL queries and a high rate of output escaping, several concerning signals exist. The presence of two dangerous functions, `unserialize` and `create_function`, is a significant red flag, as these can lead to remote code execution if not handled with extreme care. Furthermore, the plugin has an unprotected AJAX handler, which presents a direct attack vector. The taint analysis reveals three high-severity flows with unsanitized paths, indicating potential for data injection or manipulation. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history is positive, suggesting either robust development or a lack of past exploitation attempts, but this does not negate the risks identified in the static analysis. The conclusion is that while the plugin has strengths in data handling, the identified dangerous functions, unprotected entry points, and high-severity taint flows represent critical security concerns that require immediate attention.
Key Concerns
- Unprotected AJAX handler
- Dangerous function: unserialize
- Dangerous function: create_function
- High severity taint flows (3)
- No nonce checks
- Bundled library: Freemius v1.0
