Is Mime Types Plus Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Mime Types Plus has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The mime-types-plus plugin version 2.05 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events indicates a very small attack surface, and crucially, no unprotected entry points were detected. The code also shows a commitment to output sanitization, with all identified outputs being properly escaped. The lack of dangerous functions, file operations, external HTTP requests, and the absence of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history further contribute to this positive assessment. However, a significant concern arises from the single SQL query identified, which is not using prepared statements, indicating a potential for SQL injection vulnerabilities if that query handles user-supplied data. The complete lack of nonce and capability checks on any entry points, though currently presenting no immediate risk due to the zero attack surface, leaves a gap in defense-in-depth that could become a vulnerability if new entry points are introduced without proper authorization checks.
Key Concerns
- SQL query not using prepared statements
- Missing nonce checks
- Missing capability checks
