Is Redirector Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Redirector has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "redirector" plugin v3.0.1 exhibits a generally positive security posture with no known vulnerabilities and a small attack surface. The absence of critical taint analysis findings, dangerous functions, and file operations are strong indicators of secure coding practices. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly regarding output escaping. With only 32% of outputs properly escaped, there is a significant risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, especially if user-supplied data is ever involved in these outputs, even if current static analysis did not detect explicit flows. The lack of capability checks on the single AJAX handler is also a concern, as it means potentially any user could trigger this functionality without proper authorization, leading to privilege escalation or denial-of-service if the AJAX action is sensitive.
Key Concerns
- Low output escaping percentage
- Missing capability checks on AJAX handler
