Is Shortcode Redirect Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Shortcode Redirect has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "redirect-with-shortcode" plugin v1.0 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of AJAX handlers and REST API routes without authentication, coupled with no dangerous function calls and the use of prepared statements for any potential SQL queries, are strong indicators of good security practices. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerability history, which is a significant positive sign. However, there are notable concerns. The low percentage of properly escaped output is a significant weakness, suggesting that user-supplied data might be rendered without adequate sanitization, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the complete lack of nonce checks and capability checks, even for the single shortcode, means that this entry point is not protected against potential misuse if it were to handle sensitive data or actions in the future. While the current version appears safe due to its limited functionality and lack of known vulnerabilities, the unescaped output and missing security checks on its sole entry point represent a latent risk that should be addressed.
Key Concerns
- Low output escaping rate
- No nonce checks on entry points
- No capability checks on entry points
