No known CVEs
Risk Assessment

The 'personal-contact-info-widget' plugin v1.3 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the static analysis reveals no identified attack surface through common entry points like AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, or cron events. Furthermore, all SQL queries are correctly implemented using prepared statements, and there are no file operations or external HTTP requests, which are common vectors for vulnerabilities. The absence of known CVEs and past vulnerabilities also suggests a generally well-maintained security track record.

However, significant concerns arise from the code signals. The presence of the `create_function` function is a critical security anti-pattern, as it can be exploited to execute arbitrary code if any user-controlled input influences its parameters. Additionally, a very low percentage (2%) of output escaping indicates a high risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. While no taint flows were detected, this is likely due to the limited analysis scope or lack of complex data flow within the plugin; the unescaped output and `create_function` remain critical risks.

In conclusion, while the plugin has a clean vulnerability history and a seemingly small attack surface, the identified code signals present serious risks. The `create_function` usage and the widespread lack of output escaping demand immediate attention to prevent potential code execution and XSS attacks. These are fundamental security flaws that outweigh the benefits of a clean CVE history and absence of traditional entry points.

Key Concerns

  • Use of dangerous function: create_function
  • Low percentage of properly escaped output (2%)
  • No nonce checks on potential entry points (though none found)
  • No capability checks on potential entry points (though none found)
