Is Time Between Comments Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Time Between Comments has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "time-between-comments" plugin version 0.1 presents a mixed security picture. On one hand, the static analysis shows a very small attack surface with zero identified entry points and no indications of dangerous functions, file operations, or external HTTP requests. The vulnerability history is also clean, with no recorded CVEs, which is a positive sign. However, significant concerns arise from the code analysis regarding data handling. The plugin uses a single SQL query that is not protected by prepared statements, indicating a potential for SQL injection vulnerabilities. Furthermore, none of the identified output operations are properly escaped, leaving the plugin susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The complete absence of nonce and capability checks on any potential entry points, combined with the raw SQL and unescaped output, suggests a lack of fundamental security practices in its current state, despite its small footprint.
Key Concerns
- SQL queries not using prepared statements
- Output not properly escaped
- No nonce checks
- No capability checks
