Is Movie Helper Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 92/100Movie Helper has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history, the 'yet-another-movie' plugin v1.2.3 exhibits a generally strong security posture. The complete absence of identified vulnerabilities in its history, combined with the static analysis showing no dangerous functions, no unsanitized taint flows, and SQL queries exclusively using prepared statements, indicates a commitment to secure coding practices. The plugin also demonstrates good output escaping with 89% of outputs properly handled and includes capability checks where appropriate. The limited attack surface, with no AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events without authentication, further enhances its security.
However, a few areas warrant attention. The presence of two external HTTP requests without explicit details on their handling could introduce risks if these external endpoints are compromised or if the requests themselves are not properly secured (e.g., lack of SSL verification, insecure data transmission). Furthermore, the absence of nonce checks on the (hypothetical, as none are listed) AJAX handlers is a potential concern, as nonces are crucial for preventing CSRF attacks. While the current version appears secure, continued vigilance and thorough review of any new external requests or entry points are recommended.
Key Concerns
- External HTTP requests without apparent checks
- No nonce checks on potential AJAX handlers
