Is Disable Attachment Pages Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Disable Attachment Pages has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "disable-attachment-pages" plugin version 1.1 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits the plugin's attack surface. Furthermore, the analysis indicates no dangerous functions are used, all SQL queries utilize prepared statements, and there are no file operations or external HTTP requests. This suggests a plugin that is designed with security in mind, avoiding common vulnerabilities.
However, a notable concern arises from the output escaping analysis, where 100% of the single output identified is not properly escaped. While the attack surface is minimal and no taint flows were detected, this lack of output escaping presents a potential risk. If this single output were to contain user-supplied or dynamic data, it could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The plugin's vulnerability history is clean, with no recorded CVEs, which is a positive indicator of its past security performance. Overall, the plugin is well-coded and has a clean history, but the unescaped output warrants attention to mitigate potential XSS risks.
