Is ViperProof Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100ViperProof has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The viper-proof plugin, version 1.1, exhibits several significant security concerns despite having a limited attack surface and no known historical vulnerabilities. The static analysis reveals critical weaknesses in its handling of SQL queries and output escaping. Specifically, all SQL queries are executed without prepared statements, creating a high risk of SQL injection vulnerabilities. Furthermore, none of the 19 identified output points are properly escaped, exposing the plugin to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The taint analysis also shows two flows with unsanitized paths, indicating potential data handling issues that could be exploited.
Key Concerns
- SQL queries lack prepared statements
- Output escaping is not properly implemented
- Taint analysis shows unsanitized paths
- No nonce checks present
- No capability checks present
