Is Parent Page Link Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Parent Page Link has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "parent-page-link" plugin v0.9.0 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. There are no identified attack surface entry points such as AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that lack authentication checks. Furthermore, the code demonstrates robust security practices with no dangerous functions, 100% use of prepared statements for SQL queries, and proper output escaping. The absence of file operations, external HTTP requests, and the lack of recorded vulnerabilities in its history are all positive indicators. However, the complete absence of nonce and capability checks across all potential entry points (though there are none identified) represents a gap in security best practices that, if an attack surface were to emerge in future versions, could be a significant concern.
