Is Add Hierarchy (parent) to post Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 92/100Add Hierarchy (parent) to post has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The 'add-hierarchy-parent-to-post' plugin v4.0 exhibits a mixed security posture. On one hand, it demonstrates good practices by having a seemingly small attack surface with no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that lack authentication checks. The majority of its SQL queries also utilize prepared statements, which is a positive sign. However, the presence of a dangerous `unserialize` function is a significant concern, as it can lead to critical vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is passed to it without proper sanitization. The taint analysis revealing a high-severity flow with unsanitized paths further exacerbates this risk, indicating that data intended for deserialization might not be adequately validated.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function detected (unserialize)
- Taint flow with unsanitized paths (high severity)
- Moderate output escaping (50% properly escaped)
- 1 medium severity vulnerability in history
