Is Wpautop Mask Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Wpautop Mask has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The wpautop-mask plugin v1.0.0 presents a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The complete absence of identified CVEs and a lack of critical or high-severity findings in the vulnerability history are positive indicators. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals no external HTTP requests, file operations, or direct SQL queries that aren't prepared, all of which are good security practices. The presence of a nonce check is also a positive sign. However, there is a significant concern regarding output escaping, as 100% of the identified outputs are not properly escaped. This could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-controlled data is ever rendered directly to the browser without sanitization, despite the current limited attack surface. The plugin also lacks capability checks, which, combined with the lack of proper output escaping, could pose a risk if the plugin's functionality were to expand or interact with user-provided data in the future.
Key Concerns
- 100% of outputs are not properly escaped
- No capability checks detected
