Is TF Button Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100TF Button has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "tf-button" plugin version 0.3 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the absence of known CVEs and a lack of recorded historical vulnerabilities suggest a relatively stable and well-maintained codebase. The static analysis also shows no SQL queries requiring preparation, no file operations, and no external HTTP requests, which are all good indicators. However, several significant concerns are raised by the code signals. The presence of the `create_function` dangerous function is a direct security risk, as it can lead to arbitrary code execution if used with user-supplied input. Furthermore, a very low percentage of output escaping (18%) is a major concern, indicating a high likelihood of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities across the plugin's output. The complete absence of nonce checks and capability checks across all identified entry points, coupled with zero protected entry points, means any discovered vulnerability could potentially be exploited without authentication or authorization checks.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function `create_function` used
- Low output escaping percentage (18%)
- No nonce checks
- No capability checks
