Is Dashboard Directory Size Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 92/100Dashboard Directory Size has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "dashboard-directory-size" plugin version 1.6.1 exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any identified entry points, including AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events, significantly reduces the plugin's attack surface. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals good security practices with 100% of SQL queries using prepared statements and a high percentage of output escaping. The presence of nonce and capability checks, though only one each, indicates an awareness of security best practices.
The taint analysis reported zero flows, suggesting that there are no apparent vulnerabilities related to unsanitized user input being processed in a dangerous manner. The vulnerability history is also clean, with no recorded CVEs of any severity. This lack of historical vulnerabilities further strengthens the perception of a secure plugin. The plugin's strengths lie in its minimal attack surface, robust SQL handling, and clean vulnerability record.
While the data indicates an excellent security profile, the limited number of checks (one nonce, one capability) on the overall codebase might be a minor point of consideration. However, given the absence of any identified entry points, the need for extensive checks is naturally reduced. Overall, the plugin appears to be very secure, with no immediate or obvious security concerns stemming from the provided analysis.
