Is Disable Media Sizes Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Disable Media Sizes has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "disable-media-sizes" v2.5 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The complete absence of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events, particularly those unprotected by authentication, significantly limits the plugin's attack surface. The code analysis further reinforces this positive assessment with no dangerous functions, all SQL queries utilizing prepared statements, and the presence of nonce and capability checks. Taint analysis revealing zero flows with unsanitized paths is also a very reassuring indicator. The lack of any historical vulnerabilities, critical or otherwise, and no recently recorded issues suggests a well-maintained and secure codebase. The only minor concern identified is the percentage of properly escaped output, which, while not critically low, could be improved for absolute robustness. However, given the overall low attack surface and lack of critical code signals, the plugin is generally considered secure.
