Is Timeago Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Timeago has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "timeago" plugin v1.0 exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified attack surface entry points, dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, or file operations is highly commendable. Furthermore, the lack of any recorded historical vulnerabilities suggests a well-maintained and secure codebase. The zero taint flows with unsanitized paths further reinforce the impression of robust security. However, a critical concern arises from the output escaping signal: 100% of outputs are not properly escaped. This means any dynamic content rendered by the plugin could potentially lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, even with the minimal attack surface. While the plugin is otherwise seemingly secure, this lack of output sanitization presents a significant, albeit targeted, risk.
