Is Random Gallery Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Random Gallery has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "random-gallery" plugin, version v00.08, exhibits an exceptionally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of dangerous functions, SQL injection risks through prepared statements, and properly escaped output are significant strengths. The plugin also demonstrates robust protection for its attack surface, with all identified entry points (the single shortcode) lacking explicit authorization checks, which could be a point of concern if the shortcode handles sensitive operations or user-specific data. However, without a defined capability check or nonce verification for this shortcode, there's a theoretical risk of unauthorized access or manipulation if its functionality permits it. The plugin's history is completely clean, with no recorded CVEs of any severity, indicating a track record of secure development. While the lack of explicit authorization checks on the shortcode is a minor concern, the overall picture is one of a well-developed and secure plugin. The absence of any identified taint flows or critical vulnerabilities further reinforces this assessment.
