Is Picasso – WordPress Albums Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Picasso – WordPress Albums has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'picasso' plugin version 1.1.4 exhibits a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis. It demonstrates strong adherence to secure coding practices by using prepared statements for all SQL queries and properly escaping all identified output. The absence of dangerous functions, file operations, and external HTTP requests further contributes to a low-risk profile. Furthermore, the plugin has no recorded vulnerability history, indicating a consistent track record of security. However, a significant concern arises from the complete lack of nonce checks and capability checks across all identified entry points. While the current static analysis did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities, this absence of authorization controls represents a potential weakness that could be exploited if new vulnerabilities are introduced or if a previously unknown one is discovered. The limited attack surface (one shortcode) currently mitigates this risk, but it remains a notable area for improvement.
Key Concerns
- Missing nonce checks on entry points
