Is EXIF Remover Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100EXIF Remover has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The exif-remover plugin version 1.0.2 exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified dangerous functions, SQL injection vulnerabilities (all queries use prepared statements), unescaped output, file operations, or external HTTP requests is highly commendable. Furthermore, the zero count for flows with unsanitized paths in the taint analysis suggests that the plugin is not susceptible to common injection-based attacks. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history further reinforces this positive assessment. However, a notable concern is the complete absence of nonce and capability checks across all potential entry points. While the current analysis shows zero entry points, this represents a significant risk if the plugin's functionality were to expand or if new entry points are introduced in future updates without implementing proper authorization mechanisms. This leaves the plugin vulnerable to unauthorized actions if any attack vectors are ever discovered or added.
