Addon Ecosystem
Tempmails Core is frozen infrastructure. All new functionality is
delivered via addons using a documented, stable hook system — your site
never breaks on Core updates.
Available addon hooks cover: email generation, message routing, inbox
access control, multi-domain support, billing integration, and more.
See the Hooks section below for the full reference.
Privacy
Tempmails stores temporary email addresses in browser cookies to
maintain inbox sessions between page loads. No personal data is collected,
stored against user accounts, or transmitted to any external service.
See External Services below for details on the optional GitHub

External Services
Ecosystem Feed (Optional — Default On)
Tempmails fetches a public JSON file from GitHub to display addon and
ecosystem information inside the WordPress admin panel.
What this connection does:
Fires only when viewing Tempmails admin pages
Retrieves only public, non-personal JSON content
Transmits no user data, site URL, or any identifiable information
Results are cached locally for 1 hour to minimize requests
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ubermensch-site/tempmails-ecosystem/main/ecosystem.json
Privacy policy: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement
To disable this connection entirely, uncheck Ecosystem Feed under
Tempmails → Settings → General. Hardcoded fallback content is shown
instead — no requests are made.
Google Fonts
The frontend inbox loads the Inter and Poppins typefaces and the
Material Symbols icon font from Google Fonts CDN.
What this connection does:
Fires only on pages where [tempmails_inbox] is rendered
Transmits the visitor’s IP address to Google as part of a standard font
Service provider: Google Fonts
Privacy policy: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy
To avoid this (e.g. for GDPR compliance), dequeue tempmails-google-fonts
and load self-hosted font copies instead.
Developers
This section documents internal implementation details, security practices,
and notes for addon developers.
Security Hardening Log
All security changes are tracked here for auditing purposes.
2026-04-04 — Security Review Pass (v1.0.7 patch)
class-core.php — ajax_delete_message(): $_POST['message_id']
was wp_unslash()-ed but not sanitized, with a phpcs:ignore
suppression comment masking the warning. Now wrapped with
sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( … ) ). Suppression comment removed.
2026-04-02 — Security Review Pass (v1.0.7 patch)
class-design.php — Removed raw <style> echo from render_page().
Static CSS moved to assets/css/admin.css.
class-design.php — inject_css_variables() refactored: replaced
echo “…” with wp_add_inline_style('tempmails-admin', ...).
All $v() return values now pass through esc_attr().
class-design.php — inject_frontend_css_variables() refactored:
all CSS values escaped with esc_attr(), wp_strip_all_tags() applied.
class-design.php — wp_footer fallback replaced raw echo '<style>'
with a dummy registered style handle.
class-tempmails-shortcodes.php — Inline <script> replaced with
wp_add_inline_script(‘tempmails-frontend’, …).
class-ecosystem.php — Inline <script> replaced with
wp_add_inline_script(‘tempmails-admin’, …).
class-core.php — ajax_mark_seen(): sanitized with
sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( … ) ).
class-admin.php — save_settings(): Raw $_POST replaced with
$clean_post = array_map(‘sanitize_text_field’, wp_unslash($_POST)).
class-email-generator.php — get_emails(): Cookie data sanitized
with array_values(array_filter(array_map('sanitize_email', $raw))).
Addon Development Notes
Hook Stability Guarantee
All hooks listed in the == Hooks == section are frozen. Signatures will
not change in any 1.x release. Breaking changes will only occur in a major
version bump with a migration guide.
$clean_post in save_settings hooks
As of the 2026-04-02 security patch, both tempmails_before_save_settings
and tempmails_before_save_imap_settings receive a sanitized copy of
$_POST. If your addon previously relied on raw values via these hooks,
retrieve those fields directly from $_POST with appropriate sanitization.
inject_css_variables() now attaches inline CSS to the `tempmails-admin`
style handle. If your addon dequeues tempmails-admin, Design color
variables will not be applied on admin pages.
inject_frontend_css_variables() uses a priority waterfall:
1. Attaches to tempmails-frontend if registered/enqueued
2. Falls back to tempmails-frontend-css
3. Registers a dummy handle tempmails-design-vars in wp_footer at
