Is Popup with fancybox Safe to Use in 2026?
Mostly Safe
Score 84/100Popup with fancybox is generally safe to use though it hasn't been updated recently. 1 past CVE were resolved. Keep it updated.
The 'popup-with-fancybox' plugin exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it demonstrates good practices by utilizing prepared statements for the vast majority of its SQL queries and has no known unpatched vulnerabilities, indicating that past issues have been addressed by developers. The absence of external HTTP requests, file operations, and a large attack surface are also favorable indicators. However, the plugin has a concerningly low percentage of properly escaped output, suggesting a potential for cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. While taint analysis did not reveal immediate critical or high-severity issues in the analyzed flows, the limited scope of taint analysis (only 2 flows) means that other potential vulnerabilities might exist. The plugin also has a history of high-severity vulnerabilities, specifically SQL injection, which is a significant concern even if currently patched. This history, coupled with the unescaped output, warrants caution.
Key Concerns
- Low output escaping percentage
- History of high severity SQL Injection
- Limited taint analysis scope
