Is Genesis Simple Share Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Genesis Simple Share has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'genesis-simple-share' plugin v1.2.3 exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any identified entry points in the attack surface (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron jobs) suggests a minimal exposure to potential attacks. Furthermore, the code signals are highly positive, with no dangerous functions, all SQL queries using prepared statements, and a very high percentage of output being properly escaped. The presence of nonce and capability checks, even with a limited attack surface, demonstrates a commitment to secure coding practices. The plugin's history of zero known CVEs, including zero currently unpatched vulnerabilities, further reinforces its strong security reputation. The lack of recorded common vulnerability types and a recent vulnerability indicates a stable and well-maintained codebase. Overall, this plugin appears to be exceptionally secure.
