Is TasteWP: Free WordPress Instances safe?

Medium risk

TasteWP sends detected WordPress plugin slugs to plugins.svn.wordpress.org when its popup enriches results.

When you open the popup, TasteWP reads detected WordPress plugin slugs from the current page and looks up icon assets for each plugin. Those plugin names are placed in HTTP requests to plugins.svn.wordpress.org, so the detected plugin inventory is visible to that service and to network observers.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Same operator - 1 listing

Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed TasteWP: Free WordPress Instances contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.

    TasteWP: Free WordPress Instances sends data to plugins.svn.wordpress.org. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
