No Self Ping Security & Risk Analysis
wordpress.org/plugins/no-self-pingKeeps WordPress from sending pings to your own site.
Is No Self Ping Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100No Self Ping has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "no-self-ping" plugin v1.2.1 exhibits an exceptionally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any identified attack surface, dangerous functions, unescaped output, or file operations is a significant strength. Furthermore, the complete reliance on prepared statements for SQL queries and the presence of capability checks demonstrate good development practices.
The vulnerability history also reinforces this positive assessment, with zero known CVEs, indicating a lack of past security weaknesses that could resurface. The taint analysis showing zero flows with unsanitized paths further solidifies the plugin's resilience against common injection vulnerabilities.
Overall, this plugin appears to be very secure. The only notable aspect is the absence of nonce checks, which might be a slight oversight in an otherwise robust security implementation. However, given the extremely limited attack surface and lack of other vulnerabilities, this is a minor concern.
