Is Polyglots Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Polyglots has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "polyglots" v0.1 plugin exhibits a seemingly strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The complete absence of any identified attack surface points, SQL queries not using prepared statements, and no taint flows suggests a diligent approach to secure coding. The plugin also has a clean vulnerability history with no recorded CVEs, which is a positive indicator. However, the analysis also reveals significant concerns. The extremely low rate of proper output escaping (20%) indicates a high risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, as potentially untrusted data could be rendered directly in the browser. Furthermore, the lack of nonce checks and capability checks on any potential entry points, combined with a complete absence of protected entry points (0 unprotected), is a major red flag. While the static analysis reports 0 unprotected entry points, the lack of explicit checks on the few entry points that do exist (even if not explicitly classified as attack vectors in this report) creates an implicit risk. The presence of external HTTP requests without any mention of sanitization or validation also presents a potential for SSRF or other vulnerabilities if the URLs are user-controllable.
Key Concerns
- Low output escaping rate (20%)
- No nonce checks on any entry points
- No capability checks on any entry points
- External HTTP requests without clear sanitization
