Is Translation Detector Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Translation Detector has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'translation-detector' plugin v1.3.5 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the static analysis reveals no dangerous functions, no raw SQL queries, and no external HTTP requests, which are good indicators. The absence of known vulnerabilities in its history is also a strength. However, a significant concern arises from the complete lack of output escaping for all 14 identified output points. This presents a considerable risk of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-controlled data is ever rendered directly on the page. While the attack surface is small and appears to have no unprotected entry points, the lack of proper output sanitization is a critical oversight that diminishes the overall security of the plugin. The plugin's vulnerability history being clean thus far might be due to its limited functionality or the fact that its potential weaknesses haven't been actively exploited or discovered.
