Is Disable Unused Block Editor Blocks Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Disable Unused Block Editor Blocks has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "disable-unused-block-editor-blocks" plugin v5.7 exhibits a generally good security posture with no identified vulnerabilities in its history and a strong implementation of security best practices in its static analysis. The plugin correctly implements nonce checks for all its AJAX handlers and has no publicly known CVEs. However, a significant concern arises from the presence of SQL queries that are not using prepared statements. While the total number of SQL queries is low, the absence of prepared statements for these queries introduces a risk of SQL injection vulnerabilities, especially if any of the data used in these queries originates from user input without proper sanitization. Although taint analysis did not reveal any unsanitized flows in this specific version, the lack of prepared statements remains a potential weakness that could be exploited in future updates or if input handling changes.
