Is Easy PHP Settings Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 97/100Easy PHP Settings has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly.
The static analysis of easy-php-settings v1.1.4 reveals a generally strong security posture. The plugin boasts a zero-count for direct attack surface entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events, which is excellent. Furthermore, the code signals indicate a good adoption of secure coding practices, with a high percentage of SQL queries using prepared statements and output being properly escaped. The presence of nonce and capability checks further bolsters its defensive mechanisms. However, the analysis does flag one file operation and four external HTTP requests, which could potentially be points of concern if not handled with extreme care.
Key Concerns
- One high severity vulnerability historically
- One file operation detected
- Four external HTTP requests detected
