Is Plugin Reinstaller Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Plugin Reinstaller has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "plugin-reinstaller" v1.1 exhibits an exceptionally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The complete absence of any identified attack surface entry points, such as AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events that are not properly authenticated, is a significant strength. Furthermore, the code signals are highly positive, with no dangerous functions, all SQL queries using prepared statements, and all output properly escaped. The lack of file operations and external HTTP requests (except one, which is not detailed) further reduces potential attack vectors.
The vulnerability history reinforces this positive assessment, with zero known CVEs and no past vulnerabilities recorded. This suggests a history of secure development practices and diligent maintenance. The absence of critical or high-severity issues in the taint analysis also indicates that there are no apparent pathways for malicious data to be processed unsafely. The only slight area of note is the single external HTTP request, the security implications of which are unknown without further context. However, given the overall extremely low risk profile, this plugin appears to be very secure.
