Is Bulk Delete Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Bulk Delete has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The "bulk-delete" plugin version 6.11 presents a generally good security posture, with strong adherence to secure coding practices. The static analysis reveals a minimal attack surface, with only one AJAX handler, and importantly, this handler appears to be protected by authorization checks. The absence of dangerous functions, file operations, and external HTTP requests further enhances its security. A high percentage of SQL queries utilize prepared statements, and output escaping is robust, minimizing risks of SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Nonce checks are present on all identified SQL queries, and capability checks are also implemented.
Key Concerns

- Nonce checks on all SQL queries
- Capability checks present
- AJAX handler has authorization
- No dangerous functions or file operations
