Is WP Post Links Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100WP Post Links has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "wp-post-links" v0.0.1 plugin exhibits a mixed security posture. While the absence of known CVEs and a lack of critical taint flows are positive indicators, the static analysis reveals significant concerns. The presence of the `unserialize` function without any apparent sanitization or validation, coupled with a complete lack of output escaping, presents a considerable risk. Any data processed by this plugin that is then unserialized or outputted could be vulnerable to code execution or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Furthermore, the absence of nonce and capability checks on all entry points, though the attack surface is currently reported as zero, means that if any entry points were to be introduced in the future without proper security measures, they would be immediately vulnerable. The vulnerability history being clear is a good sign, suggesting a historically safe plugin, but the current code analysis highlights potential weaknesses that should be addressed.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function 'unserialize' used without context
- 100% of outputs are unescaped
- 0 Nonce checks implemented
