Is Remove Taxonomy URL Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Remove Taxonomy URL has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "remove-taxonomy-url" v1.0.6 demonstrates a strong security posture with no identified vulnerabilities in its history and a clean static analysis report regarding dangerous functions, SQL queries, file operations, and external HTTP requests. The absence of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits its attack surface. Furthermore, the fact that all SQL queries use prepared statements is a very good practice. However, a notable concern is the relatively low percentage of properly escaped output (41%). While the static analysis did not detect specific taint flows, this lack of comprehensive output sanitization could potentially lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is ever introduced into output contexts without proper encoding. The plugin's lack of recorded vulnerabilities is positive, but it's important to remember that a lack of history doesn't guarantee future invulnerability, especially when some security best practices, like output escaping, are not fully implemented.
