Generally Safe
Score 92/100Pending Status has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "pending-status" plugin version 1.0.4 demonstrates a generally good security posture based on the static analysis. The absence of any recorded CVEs and the clean taint analysis results are significant strengths, indicating no known critical vulnerabilities and no identified insecure data flows within the analyzed code. The plugin also adheres to several WordPress security best practices, including using prepared statements for its single SQL query, performing nonce checks, and implementing capability checks. Furthermore, the plugin exhibits strong output escaping, with 80% of its outputs being properly escaped. The limited attack surface with no apparent entry points without authentication is also a positive indicator.
