Is WPFlickr Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100WPFlickr has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The wpflickr plugin v1.1.0 presents a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it has a very small attack surface with no unprotected entry points and no known past vulnerabilities, indicating a history of responsible development or minimal exposure. However, the static analysis reveals significant concerns. The presence of a `create_function` call is a notable risk, as this is a deprecated and potentially insecure PHP function. Furthermore, a high percentage of output is not properly escaped, leaving the plugin susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is ever rendered directly. The taint analysis shows a concerning number of flows with unsanitized paths, which could lead to various injection vulnerabilities if not handled carefully. While there are no explicit critical or high severity findings in the taint analysis or CVE history, these underlying code quality issues represent potential risks that could be exploited.
Key Concerns
- Use of deprecated and unsafe create_function
- High percentage of unescaped output
- Flows with unsanitized paths in taint analysis
- No capability checks on entry points
