Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.
I think that word modern is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
A lot of systems simply aren’t modern. There’s always that mentality of “well, it’s been working for the last 12 years, let’s not mess with it now”, despite all the valid objections like "but it’s running on Windows2000” or “it’s a data breach waiting to happen”…
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
This was my thought as well, sanitize your inputs! Are they not quoting/casting to string before input?

Legacy systems still handle more traffic than modern ones, I’d wager
And it’s probably not seen as urgent enough an issue to need replacing the whole system for.

Wordpress is a sin against mankind.
