Is WP-Print Safe to Use in 2026?
Mostly Safe
Score 84/100WP-Print is generally safe to use though it hasn't been updated recently. 1 past CVE were resolved. Keep it updated.
The "wp-print" plugin v2.58.2 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it demonstrates good practices in areas like SQL query handling, with all queries using prepared statements, and the absence of external HTTP requests or file operations. The limited attack surface, with no AJAX handlers or REST API routes exposed without authentication, is also a strength. However, concerns arise from the presence of a potentially dangerous function (`preg_replace(/e)`) and a low percentage of properly escaped output, indicating a risk of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. The vulnerability history, though dated, shows a past high-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, suggesting that the plugin may have had exploitable flaws. The lack of capability checks on the identified entry points is also a significant weakness, as it allows any authenticated user to potentially interact with these features without proper authorization.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function (preg_replace(/e)) detected
- Low output escaping percentage
- No capability checks on entry points
- Past high severity CVE (CSRF)
