Is Reusable Blocks Extended Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Reusable Blocks Extended has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The "reusable-blocks-extended" plugin v0.9.1 exhibits a generally good security posture with no identified critical or high-severity vulnerabilities in the static analysis or taint flow reports. The plugin implements necessary nonce and capability checks, and the limited attack surface (one shortcode) appears to be protected. However, the analysis reveals a concerning lack of prepared statements for its single SQL query, which represents a significant risk of SQL injection if not handled carefully within the plugin's logic. Furthermore, the plugin has a history of medium-severity vulnerabilities, specifically Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), although the most recent vulnerability is patched. While the absence of unpatched CVEs and a small attack surface are strengths, the unescaped output percentage (51%) and the raw SQL query are notable weaknesses that require attention to ensure robust security.
Key Concerns
- SQL query not using prepared statements
- 51% of output not properly escaped
- History of medium severity CSRF vulnerabilities
