Is Social Monster Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Social Monster has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'social-features-for-wp' plugin v1.0.10 exhibits a mixed security posture. While it boasts a clean vulnerability history with no known CVEs and demonstrates good practices by using prepared statements for all SQL queries and avoiding file operations or external HTTP requests, several concerning signals emerge from the static analysis. The presence of the 'unserialize' function, especially without any apparent input validation or nonce checks, presents a significant risk. Furthermore, the fact that 100% of the 17 output operations are not properly escaped indicates a high likelihood of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
Key Concerns
- Unescaped output detected
- Presence of unserialize without apparent checks
- No nonce checks detected
- No capability checks detected
