Is Quick Browscap Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Quick Browscap has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "quick-browscap" plugin version 1.03 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it has a remarkably small attack surface, with no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events. Furthermore, all its SQL queries are properly prepared, and it has no known past or present CVEs, suggesting a generally stable and well-maintained codebase in these areas. However, there are significant concerns. The use of the `create_function` PHP function is a critical security risk due to its potential for arbitrary code execution, especially if user input is involved. Additionally, a concerningly low percentage (29%) of its output is properly escaped, indicating a high risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if any user-supplied data is rendered in the frontend without adequate sanitization. The lack of nonce and capability checks on any potential entry points, though currently limited, further exacerbates these risks, as it implies that any future additions to the attack surface could be exploited without proper authorization or validation.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function used (create_function)
- Low percentage of output properly escaped
- No nonce checks implemented
- No capability checks implemented
