Is Sunrise Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Sunrise has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "sunrise" v2.0.0 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events with unprotected entry points indicates a minimal attack surface. Furthermore, the code signals reveal a lack of dangerous functions, no file operations, and no external HTTP requests, all positive indicators. The fact that all SQL queries utilize prepared statements is a significant strength, as is the absence of any recorded vulnerabilities (CVEs). However, a notable concern is the very low percentage (3%) of properly escaped output. This suggests a high risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, as user-supplied data is likely being outputted without adequate sanitization, potentially allowing malicious scripts to be injected and executed within the user's browser.
