Is Post Date Labels Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Post Date Labels has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "post-date-labels" v1.0.2 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits the plugin's attack surface. Furthermore, the code analysis reveals no dangerous functions, no raw SQL queries, and all output is properly escaped. The lack of file operations and external HTTP requests also contributes positively to its security. The vulnerability history is also clean, with no recorded CVEs, indicating a lack of publicly known security flaws.
While the plugin demonstrates excellent practices in its current iteration, the primary concern stems from the lack of capability checks and nonce checks. Although the current attack surface is zero, if functionality were to be added in the future without proper authentication and authorization mechanisms, it could introduce vulnerabilities. The bundled Freemius library, while version 1.0, is a minor point to monitor for future updates. Overall, the plugin is currently very secure, but future development should prioritize robust authentication and authorization.
Key Concerns
- Missing capability checks
- Missing nonce checks
- Bundled outdated library (Freemius v1.0)
