Is WP-ngrok Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100WP-ngrok has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The wp-ngrok v1.1.2 plugin exhibits a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis. It avoids common pitfalls such as direct SQL queries, file operations, and external HTTP requests. The absence of known CVEs and a clean vulnerability history further contribute to a positive security outlook. However, the static analysis did identify two taint flows with unsanitized paths. While these are not categorized as critical or high severity, they represent a potential area of concern that warrants further investigation. Additionally, the plugin shows no capability checks or nonce checks, which, in conjunction with the zero AJAX handlers and REST API routes, might indicate a very limited attack surface but could also be a missed opportunity for robust authorization where applicable. Overall, the plugin appears to be built with security in mind, but the presence of unsanitized taint flows, even if not currently critical, requires attention to ensure ongoing security.
