Number of CVEs 8
Detail Dashboard Vulnerabilities Web & Social
The code uses deprecated or obsolete functions, which suggests that the code has not been actively reviewed or maintained.

As programming languages evolve, functions occasionally become obsolete due to:

  • Advances in the language
  • Improved understanding of how operations should be performed effectively and securely
  • Changes in the conventions that govern certain operations

Functions that are removed are usually replaced by newer counterparts that perform the same task in some different and hopefully improved way.
