Is Select and Tweet Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Select and Tweet has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The select-and-chirp plugin v1.0.2 exhibits a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of dangerous functions, SQL queries, file operations, and external HTTP requests is a significant strength. Furthermore, the high percentage of properly escaped output and the presence of a nonce check are positive indicators of secure coding practices. The plugin's vulnerability history being clear of any known CVEs also suggests a stable and well-maintained codebase. However, the complete lack of capability checks for its sole entry point, the shortcode, is a notable concern. While the attack surface is small, any functionality exposed through this shortcode might be accessible to users without specific permissions, depending on the shortcode's implementation details which are not fully detailed in this analysis. The taint analysis showing zero flows with unsanitized paths is excellent, but the absence of analysis (0 total flows analyzed) means we cannot definitively rule out potential issues in more complex interactions.
