Is Postpoll Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Postpoll has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The postpoll plugin v0.1.3 demonstrates a generally good security posture due to the absence of known vulnerabilities and a low attack surface. The code analysis reveals a commendable adherence to secure coding practices, with all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements and a single nonce and capability check present. There are no dangerous functions, file operations, or external HTTP requests, which significantly reduces potential attack vectors. However, a critical concern arises from the output escaping analysis, where only 2% of outputs are properly escaped. This, coupled with a taint analysis flow with an unsanitized path, indicates a substantial risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, allowing for the potential execution of arbitrary code in the user's browser.
Key Concerns
- Low percentage of properly escaped outputs
- Taint flow with unsanitized path
