Is YouTube Subscribe widget Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100YouTube Subscribe widget has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The youtube-subscribe-widget plugin, version 1.0, presents a mixed security posture. While the static analysis indicates no direct vulnerabilities such as dangerous functions, SQL injection, or insecure file operations, and there is no known vulnerability history, significant concerns arise from the complete lack of output escaping. This suggests that any data processed and outputted by the plugin could be susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Furthermore, the absence of nonce and capability checks on all entry points, although the current attack surface is reported as zero, is a concerning oversight that would become a critical weakness if new entry points were introduced without proper authorization.
Key Concerns
- 0% output escaping
- 0 capability checks
- 0 nonce checks
