wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar-constantsDebug Bar Constants adds three new panels to the Debug Bar that display the defined WP and PHP constants for the current request.
Is Debug Bar Constants Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Debug Bar Constants has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'debug-bar-constants' plugin version 2.0.0 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits the plugin's attack surface. Furthermore, the code shows excellent security practices with 100% of SQL queries using prepared statements and a high percentage of output being properly escaped. The presence of a capability check, although only one is noted, is a positive indicator of access control being considered.
The taint analysis reveals no identified flows with unsanitized paths, indicating that data inputs are likely being handled safely. The vulnerability history is also clean, with no known CVEs recorded, which suggests a history of secure development and maintenance for this plugin. The plugin also avoids potentially risky operations such as file operations or external HTTP requests, further reducing its risk profile.
While the plugin demonstrates robust security practices, the low number of capability checks and the complete absence of nonce checks on potential entry points (though none are explicitly listed) could be areas for future strengthening, especially if the plugin's functionality were to expand. However, given the current analysis and historical data, the plugin is assessed as highly secure with minimal risk.
Key Concerns
- No nonce checks on potential entry points
- Only 1 capability check identified
- 77% of output escaped, not 100%
