Is ACF Page Builder Field Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100ACF Page Builder Field has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "acf-page-builder-field" v1.0.3 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. There are no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, indicating a very limited attack surface, and importantly, no unprotected entry points. The code signals also show a lack of dangerous functions, external HTTP requests, and file operations. All SQL queries use prepared statements, which is a significant positive for preventing SQL injection vulnerabilities. However, a notable concern is the output escaping, where only 53% of outputs are properly escaped, leaving room for potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The absence of any recorded vulnerabilities or CVEs in its history is positive, suggesting a history of secure development. The lack of nonce checks and capability checks, combined with the imperfect output escaping, are the primary areas of concern despite the otherwise robust findings.
Key Concerns
- Output escaping is not fully implemented
- Missing nonce checks
- Missing capability checks
