Is Disable WP Core Updates Advance Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Disable WP Core Updates Advance has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin 'disable-wp-core-updates-advance' v1.0.0 presents a mixed security profile. On the positive side, the static analysis reveals a complete absence of direct SQL injection risks, file operations, external HTTP requests, and no known past CVEs. All identified SQL queries utilize prepared statements, and all outputs are properly escaped, which are excellent security practices. The attack surface appears to be minimal, with no registered AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events exposed without authentication. However, the presence of the `create_function` dangerous function is a significant concern. While no taint flows were identified in this specific analysis, `create_function` is known to be a potential vector for code injection if its arguments are not meticulously sanitized. Furthermore, the complete lack of nonce and capability checks across all entry points (though there are none currently) indicates a potential future vulnerability if the plugin were to be extended or modified to include user-interactive features without proper security controls. The absence of a vulnerability history suggests a lack of past exploitable issues, but this cannot entirely compensate for the presence of a known dangerous function and the fundamental absence of core WordPress security checks like nonces and capabilities.
Key Concerns
- Presence of dangerous function (create_function)
- No nonce checks implemented
