Is Sync Posts Safe to Use in 2026?
Use With Caution
Score 61/100Sync Posts has 1 unpatched vulnerability. Evaluate alternatives or apply available mitigations.
The 'sync-posts' plugin v1.0 exhibits a mixed security posture. While it demonstrates good practices by using prepared statements for all SQL queries and properly escaping all output, significant concerns arise from its attack surface and vulnerability history. The presence of one unprotected AJAX handler presents a direct entry point for potential attacks, especially given the lack of nonce checks and capability checks. This is exacerbated by the taint analysis revealing two flows with unsanitized paths, indicating a potential for malicious data to be processed insecurely, even if no critical or high severity issues were immediately identified in this analysis.
Key Concerns
- Unprotected AJAX handler found
- Unpatched high severity CVE exists
- Flows with unsanitized paths found
- No nonce checks on entry points
- No capability checks on entry points
