Is Only One Category Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Only One Category has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "only-one-category" v1.0.4 plugin exhibits an excellent security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits its attack surface. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals no dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, unescaped output, file operations, or external HTTP requests. The complete lack of taint flows, including those of critical or high severity, further strengthens this assessment. The plugin's vulnerability history is also clean, with no known CVEs, indicating a consistent focus on security by the developers. The absence of any nonce checks or capability checks might be a concern in a more complex plugin with entry points, but given the extremely limited attack surface here, it does not represent a current risk. This plugin demonstrates strong adherence to secure coding practices, making it a highly secure option.
