Is Stax Addons for Elementor Safe to Use in 2026?
Mostly Safe
Score 76/100Stax Addons for Elementor is generally safe to use. 4 past CVEs were resolved. Keep it updated.
The "stax-addons-for-elementor" v1.5.1 plugin exhibits a mixed security posture. While the static analysis shows a lack of direct entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or shortcodes, and a good percentage of output is properly escaped, several concerning signals exist. The presence of a single nonce check and a single capability check is positive, but the fact that 25% of outputs are not properly escaped presents a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) risk, especially since this has been a historical vulnerability type. The plugin's history of four known CVEs, with one still unpatched and all being medium severity, is a significant concern. The prevalence of XSS, CSRF, and Missing Authorization vulnerabilities in the past suggests a recurring pattern of insecure coding practices that require careful attention. Although the taint analysis found no specific unsanitized paths in this version, the historical pattern and the unescaped output suggest that the plugin's development may not consistently prioritize robust security measures, leaving it susceptible to known attack vectors if not diligently maintained and updated.
Key Concerns
- Unpatched CVE
- Medium severity historical CVEs (4 total)
