Is there any fairly popular software that still uses md5 in this context?

Most I've seen (sec scans, backup validation/dedup etc) pushed to phase out md5 very long time ago.

Wordpress uses md5 checksums for core files. That doesn't make it vulnerable to this, except in the sense that it kind of validates using them.
