Is Tubelastica Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Tubelastica has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "tubelastica" v1.7.3 demonstrates a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The lack of identified entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events significantly reduces the potential attack surface. Furthermore, the absence of dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, and external HTTP requests are positive indicators. The presence of some output escaping, although not 100%, is a good practice. The vulnerability history is completely clean, with no known CVEs, indicating a history of stable and secure development.
However, the complete absence of capability checks and nonce checks, coupled with the limited scope of taint analysis (0 flows analyzed), suggests that while there are no *currently identified* vulnerabilities, the testing methodology might not be exhaustive. The lack of any identified entry points at all is unusual and could mean either exceptional security or that the analysis might have missed certain ways the plugin interacts with WordPress. Overall, the plugin appears very secure due to a lack of exploitable code and a clean history, but the absence of common security checks warrants a degree of caution, suggesting the possibility of undiscovered vulnerabilities that might arise with more in-depth, dynamic testing.
Key Concerns
- No capability checks detected
- No nonce checks detected
- Only 75% of outputs properly escaped
- Taint analysis scope limited (0 flows analyzed)
