Is Custom Admin Bar Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Custom Admin Bar has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "customized-admin-bar" v1.0.0 plugin exhibits a concerning security posture due to a significant lack of output escaping. While the static analysis reveals no direct vulnerabilities like dangerous functions, raw SQL, or exposed entry points with missing authentication, the fact that 0% of the 11 identified output operations are properly escaped presents a substantial risk. This indicates a high likelihood of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The taint analysis, despite analyzing only two flows, found two instances with unsanitized paths, which is a direct indicator of potential injection risks, though thankfully not categorized as critical or high severity in this limited analysis. The absence of any vulnerability history is a positive sign, suggesting that the plugin has not historically been a target or has had a clean record, but this should not overshadow the immediate risks identified in the code itself. The plugin's strengths lie in its limited attack surface and proper use of prepared statements for SQL, but these are overshadowed by the critical flaw of unescaped output.
Key Concerns
- 0% of output operations properly escaped
- Taint analysis shows unsanitized paths
- No nonce checks
- No capability checks
