Is Easy Elements Hider Safe to Use in 2026?
Use With Caution
Score 63/100Easy Elements Hider has 1 unpatched vulnerability. Evaluate alternatives or apply available mitigations.
The "easy-elements-hider" plugin v2.0 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, the static analysis reveals no identified dangerous functions, no raw SQL queries, no file operations, and no external HTTP requests, which are good indicators of secure coding practices. The absence of a large attack surface from AJAX handlers, REST API routes, and shortcodes is also a positive sign, suggesting limited points of potential entry. However, a significant concern arises from the very low percentage of properly escaped output (20%). This indicates a high likelihood of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, especially considering the historical vulnerability data.
Key Concerns
- Unpatched CVE exists
- Low output escaping percentage
