Is Device Detect Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Device Detect has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "device-detect" plugin v2.0.1 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the static analysis. The absence of any identified dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, file operations, external HTTP requests, and the limited attack surface (zero entry points) are all strong indicators of good security practices. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerabilities, which further strengthens its perceived security. However, a significant concern arises from the output escaping. With 4 total outputs and 0% properly escaped, this indicates a high risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Any user-supplied data that is reflected in the plugin's output without proper sanitization could be exploited by an attacker to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or other harmful actions. While the plugin appears robust in many areas, this lack of output escaping is a critical weakness that needs immediate attention.
