Is AdControl Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100AdControl has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The radcontrol plugin v1.5 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The plugin has no known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and a clean history, which is a very positive indicator. The attack surface is minimal, with no unprotected AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or shortcodes, suggesting good access control practices. However, the static analysis does reveal some areas for concern. A significant portion of SQL queries are not using prepared statements, which can open the door to SQL injection vulnerabilities if the data influencing these queries is not meticulously sanitized. While a good number of outputs are properly escaped, the 52% properly escaped rate means the remaining 48% are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The absence of nonce checks on the identified cron event is also a notable weakness that could potentially be exploited.
Key Concerns
- Raw SQL queries without prepared statements
- Improper output escaping (48% unescaped)
- No nonce check on cron events
