Is Admin Bookmarks Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Admin Bookmarks has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'my-admin-bookmarks' plugin version 2.0.0 demonstrates a generally good security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The plugin has a very small attack surface, with only one AJAX handler, and importantly, this handler appears to be protected. The code shows no signs of dangerous functions, file operations, or external HTTP requests, which are common vectors for exploits. Furthermore, all SQL queries are prepared, and a significant majority of output is properly escaped, reducing the risk of injection attacks and cross-site scripting (XSS). The presence of nonce and capability checks further bolsters its defenses against unauthorized actions.
Despite these strengths, there are minor areas for improvement. While the percentage of properly escaped output is high (85%), the remaining 15% could still represent a potential XSS vulnerability, especially if it involves user-supplied data. The taint analysis showing zero flows analyzed is a limitation of the analysis, not necessarily an indicator of no issues. The lack of any recorded vulnerabilities in its history is a positive sign, suggesting a history of secure development. However, it's important to note that this can also be due to the plugin's limited adoption or exposure. Overall, 'my-admin-bookmarks' v2.0.0 is a secure plugin, but vigilance regarding the unescaped outputs and awareness of potential unknown vulnerabilities remain prudent.
