Is Relative URL Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Relative URL has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "relative-url" plugin version 0.1.8 demonstrates a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The plugin exhibits no identified attack surface, no usage of dangerous functions, and all SQL queries utilize prepared statements. Furthermore, all identified output is properly escaped, and there are no file operations or external HTTP requests, minimizing potential injection vectors. The lack of any historical vulnerabilities, including critical or high severity ones, suggests a mature and well-maintained codebase.
Despite the excellent static analysis results, the complete absence of capability checks and nonce checks is a notable area of concern. While the current analysis reveals no direct vulnerabilities, the plugin's design does not inherently prevent unauthorized access or manipulation if an entry point were to be discovered or introduced in a future version. The zero taint analysis flows and zero AJAX handlers/REST API routes without authentication are positive indicators, but the reliance on the absence of issues rather than explicit security controls leaves room for potential future risks. Overall, the plugin is currently secure but could benefit from incorporating more robust access control mechanisms.
