Is Disable Gutenberg Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Disable Gutenberg has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history, the "easy-disable-wp-editor" v1.0 plugin exhibits an exceptionally strong security posture. The static analysis reveals no discernible attack surface, with zero AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events. Furthermore, the code signals indicate a complete absence of dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, unescaped output, file operations, external HTTP requests, and, critically, any form of nonce or capability checks. This suggests that the plugin either has a very limited functionality that doesn't necessitate these security measures, or its implementation is incredibly robust in its simplicity. The vulnerability history is equally clean, with no recorded CVEs, indicating a lack of known exploits and a consistent history of secure development. While the absence of these common WordPress security entry points and the pristine vulnerability record are highly positive indicators, the complete lack of nonces and capability checks, while seemingly not exploitable due to the minimal attack surface, could be a point of concern if the plugin's functionality were to be expanded in the future without proper security implementations. Overall, this plugin appears to be highly secure in its current state.
