Is Edit Usernames Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Edit Usernames has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'edit-usernames' plugin v1.3.2 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any detected dangerous functions, SQL queries exclusively using prepared statements, and a very high percentage of properly escaped output indicate good coding practices. Furthermore, the complete lack of critical or high-severity taint flows and the absence of any historical vulnerabilities suggest a well-maintained and secure plugin. The plugin's attack surface is effectively zero, with no AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, and importantly, all identified capability checks and the lack of unprotected entry points further reinforce its security. The only minor area for attention is the absence of nonce checks, which, given the limited attack surface, is a low risk but still a deviation from best practices for user-facing interactions if any were present.
