Yahoo Weather Security & Risk Analysis

Is Yahoo Weather Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Yahoo Weather has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "yahoo-weather" plugin v1.3.4 exhibits a mixed security posture. While the plugin has no recorded vulnerabilities (CVEs) and a seemingly small attack surface with no known AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, the static analysis reveals significant concerns regarding output escaping. All identified output points lack proper escaping, which can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is displayed directly. Additionally, the presence of unsanitized paths in the taint analysis, despite not reaching critical or high severity, warrants attention as it suggests potential for file-related vulnerabilities.
Key Concerns
- All output points are unescaped
- Flows with unsanitized paths found
- No capability checks on entry points
- No nonce checks on entry points
