Is Add Shortlink to Posts Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Add Shortlink to Posts has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "add-shortlink-to-posts" v0.3.3 plugin exhibits a remarkably secure static analysis profile. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events signifies a minimal attack surface. Furthermore, the code demonstrates excellent security practices with zero dangerous functions, all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, and 100% output escaping. File operations, external HTTP requests, nonce checks, and capability checks are also absent, which, while contributing to a clean analysis, could also be an indicator of very limited functionality or potential reliance on core WordPress hooks which may have their own inherent security measures.
The plugin's vulnerability history is equally clean, with no recorded CVEs of any severity. This lack of historical vulnerabilities, combined with the strong static analysis results, suggests a well-developed and secure plugin. The complete absence of taint analysis issues further reinforces this positive assessment. While the plugin currently appears very secure, a potential concern could arise if its functionality expands significantly in the future without corresponding implementation of robust authentication and authorization checks on new entry points.
