Is Disable Comment Author Links Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Disable Comment Author Links has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "disable-comment-author-links" v1.0.0 plugin exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The plugin demonstrates excellent adherence to secure coding practices by having no identified dangerous functions, all SQL queries using prepared statements, and all output being properly escaped. Furthermore, the complete absence of file operations and external HTTP requests significantly reduces the potential attack surface. The plugin also has no known vulnerabilities in its history, indicating a history of responsible development and maintenance. However, the lack of any identified entry points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron events) is unusual and could be an indicator of a very simple plugin or that the static analysis tool might have missed potential interaction points if the plugin relies on filters/actions to disable functionality, rather than direct hooks. The absence of nonce and capability checks is a direct consequence of the lack of identified entry points, so it's not an independent concern but rather a reflection of the plugin's apparent design.
