Is Proper Network Activation Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Proper Network Activation has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin 'proper-network-activation' v1.0.5 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it has a minimal attack surface with no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, and no known historical vulnerabilities. Furthermore, all SQL queries are properly prepared, which is a significant security strength. However, the static analysis reveals critical weaknesses. All identified output operations are unescaped, presenting a direct risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if any data displayed originates from user input. The taint analysis also flags two flows with unsanitized paths, both categorized as high severity. This suggests that potentially malicious data could be processed without proper sanitization, leading to security issues. The absence of nonce and capability checks, while not directly leading to deductions based on the provided attack surface (as there are no entry points to check), indicates a general lack of defensive coding practices that could become problematic if the plugin's functionality were to expand in the future.
