    Word press code, and plugins, do not sanitize out of the box. You have to call an additional function, each time, that is not provided automatically. Many home made plugins miss that; many popular plugins used to be home made ones

        Let’s take a blog and slap a whole e-commerce system on it through a plugin and let it auto translate with another one, what could go wrong. wait why is everything so slow, oh i need additional plugins for caching and one more for functionality XYZ why is everything broken now?!?

        Edit: Sorry, my app had a hiccup and posted my comment several times

        Yet here we are, it and the plugins handle too much of my daily traffic. It’s easy to dismiss the piss poor coding, but is done at our peril.

        Everyone of us has personal data stored in those God awful plugins, in their thousands of basic security holes
