Is Plot Over Time Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Plot Over Time has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "plot-over-time" plugin version 1.0.0 exhibits a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis. The code adheres to several security best practices, including the complete absence of dangerous functions, file operations, and external HTTP requests. Crucially, all SQL queries utilize prepared statements, and all identified outputs are properly escaped, mitigating common risks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerability history, indicating a clean track record. However, there are areas for improvement. The lack of nonce checks and capability checks on its single shortcode, which represents the entire attack surface, is a notable concern. While there are no unauthenticated entry points identified in the static analysis, this absence of explicit authorization checks on the shortcode could potentially be exploited if the shortcode's functionality allows for actions or data retrieval that should be restricted.
Key Concerns
- Missing nonce checks on shortcode
- Missing capability checks on shortcode
