Is Remove Site Icon Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Remove Site Icon has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "remove-site-icon" plugin v1 exhibits a remarkably clean static analysis report, indicating strong adherence to secure coding practices. The absence of dangerous functions, reliance on prepared statements for SQL queries, and proper output escaping are all positive indicators. Furthermore, the lack of file operations and external HTTP requests reduces the potential for many common attack vectors. The plugin also shows no history of known vulnerabilities, which is a strong positive sign. However, the complete absence of nonces and capability checks across all entry points, which are zero in this case, presents a theoretical concern. While there are no active attack surfaces to exploit, if any were introduced in future versions without these checks, it could lead to vulnerabilities. The current security posture is excellent due to the lack of any identified weaknesses in the analyzed version, but this relies heavily on the unchanging nature of the plugin's functionality.
