Generally Safe
Score 100/100Login Delay Shield has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The wp-login-delay plugin v2.1.5 exhibits a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The complete absence of known CVEs, unpatched vulnerabilities, and common vulnerability types suggests a history of stable and secure development. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals strong adherence to secure coding practices, with 100% of SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, a respectable number of nonce and capability checks, and no observed external HTTP requests. The limited attack surface, particularly the absence of unprotected entry points, is also a positive indicator.
