Is Block AdBlock Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Block AdBlock has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'kill-adblock' v1.4 plugin exhibits a seemingly strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of identified CVEs and the clean taint analysis results are positive indicators. The plugin also appears to avoid common risky practices like raw SQL queries and extensive file operations. However, a significant concern arises from the low percentage of properly escaped output (35%). This suggests a potential for cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, where user-supplied data could be rendered unescaped, leading to arbitrary code execution in the user's browser. While the attack surface is reported as zero, the output escaping issue presents a latent risk that needs careful consideration. The plugin's strengths lie in its lack of known vulnerabilities and avoidance of direct database manipulation risks. The primary weakness lies in the inadequate output sanitization, which, despite the lack of current CVEs, could be exploited if an attacker finds a way to inject malicious content into data displayed by the plugin.
