Is Video List Manager Safe to Use in 2026?
Critical Risk — Avoid
Score 22/100Video List Manager is critically unsafe with 5 known CVEs, 5 still unpatched. Avoid in production.
The "video-list-manager" v1.7 plugin presents a significant security risk due to a history of multiple unpatched vulnerabilities and concerning patterns in its static analysis. While the plugin has no documented AJAX handlers or REST API routes that are unprotected, and its direct entry points are limited, the presence of 5 unpatched CVEs, including 2 high severity ones, overshadows these positive aspects. These historical vulnerabilities point to recurring issues with Cross-site Scripting, SQL Injection, and Missing Authorization, indicating a consistent struggle with secure coding practices. The static analysis further reveals a concerning 95% of output is not properly escaped, creating a high probability of Cross-site Scripting vulnerabilities being present and exploitable, even if not explicitly detected in the limited taint analysis performed. The fact that 36% of SQL queries are not prepared also raises immediate concerns about SQL Injection risks. Despite the absence of critical taint flows and dangerous functions in the current analysis, the plugin's past and the identified code quality issues make it a high-risk component.
Key Concerns
- 5 Unpatched CVEs (2 High, 3 Medium)
