On the positive side, the plugin demonstrates good practices by avoiding dangerous functions, making all SQL queries using prepared statements, and not performing file operations or external HTTP requests. There are also no known vulnerabilities (CVEs) associated with this version, and the taint analysis revealed no critical or high-severity issues. This suggests a generally robust development approach concerning these areas.\n\nHowever, significant concerns arise from the lack of security checks on its entry points. The plugin has two shortcodes, and neither the static analysis nor the taint analysis indicate any nonce or capability checks. While the attack surface is small, these unprotected shortcodes represent potential vectors for attack if they can be manipulated to execute unintended actions. Furthermore, the very low percentage of properly escaped output (9%) is a substantial risk. This indicates that data outputted by the plugin is highly likely to be vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, which could allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into the user's browser.\n\nIn conclusion, while the absence of known vulnerabilities and the secure handling of database queries and external interactions are strengths, the critical lack of input sanitization and output escaping, coupled with unprotected shortcodes, creates a significant security risk, primarily for XSS. The plugin's overall security is compromised by these fundamental weaknesses in handling user-supplied data and ensuring secure output.",[212,214,216],{"reason":213,"points":62},"No nonce checks on entry points",{"reason":215,"points":62},"No capability checks on entry points",{"reason":217,"points":218},"Low output escaping percentage (9%)",8,"2026-03-16T22:24:31.978Z",{"wat":221,"direct":228},{"assetPaths":222,"generatorPatterns":224,"scriptPaths":225,"versionParams":226},[223],"\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fwidget-for-co-authors\u002Fblog-spoiler.css",[],[],[227],"widget-for-co-authors\u002Fblog-spoiler.css?ver=",{"cssClasses":229,"htmlComments":235,"htmlAttributes":236,"restEndpoints":247,"jsGlobals":248,"shortcodeOutput":249},[230,231,232,233,234],"block-item-text","read-more-state","read-more-wrap","read-more-trigger_closed","read-more-trigger_opened",[],[237,238,239,240,241,242,243,244,245,246],"for=\"1\"","for=\"2\"","for=\"3\"","for=\"4\"","for=\"5\"","for=\"6\"","for=\"7\"","for=\"8\"","for=\"9\"","for=\"10\"",[],[],[250,251],"[blog-post-coauthors]","[blog-coauthors-avatars]"]
