Is Post Type Icons Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Post Type Icons has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "post-type-icons" plugin v0.2.2 demonstrates a strong adherence to several security best practices, including a complete absence of SQL queries that are not prepared and no detected dangerous functions or file operations. The plugin also reports zero known vulnerabilities, including no critical or high severity CVEs, which is a positive indicator of its historical security record. However, a significant concern arises from the total lack of output escaping, meaning that any data processed and displayed by the plugin could be vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. While the attack surface appears minimal with no identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events without proper checks, this is offset by the complete lack of output sanitization.
