Is Customize Object Selector Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Customize Object Selector has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "customize-object-selector" plugin version 0.4.2 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any detected AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events without authentication or permission checks significantly limits its attack surface. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals good development practices, with all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, all outputs being properly escaped, and the presence of nonce and capability checks. The limited file operation and lack of external HTTP requests further contribute to a secure profile. The plugin's vulnerability history is clean, with no known CVEs recorded, indicating a history of stable and secure development. However, the presence of a bundled library, Select2, is a point to monitor. If this library is outdated or has known vulnerabilities not yet patched in this specific plugin version, it could represent a potential weakness, though no specific evidence of this is present in the provided data. Overall, this plugin appears to be well-developed from a security perspective, with minimal apparent risks.
