Is Quote of the Day by Quotations Book Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Quote of the Day by Quotations Book has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "quotations-book-quotes-of-the-day" plugin version 1.0, based on the provided static analysis, exhibits a concerning security posture despite the absence of identified vulnerabilities in its history. The most significant concern is the complete lack of output escaping, meaning that any data outputted by the plugin is not properly sanitized, leaving it vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. While the plugin does not appear to have a large attack surface with no registered AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, the lack of authentication and capability checks on these potential entry points (though none are currently present) is a latent risk should they be introduced in future versions or if the analysis is incomplete. The plugin's history of zero known vulnerabilities and a clean taint analysis are positive indicators, but they are overshadowed by the critical issue of unescaped output, which presents a clear and present danger to users.
Key Concerns
- No output escaping found
- No capability checks on entry points
- No nonce checks on entry points
