Rewrite Flush Button Security & Risk Analysis
wordpress.org/plugins/rewrite-flush-buttonAdds a "Flush Rewrite Rules" button to WP-Admin > Settings > Permalinks.
Is Rewrite Flush Button Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Rewrite Flush Button has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "rewrite-flush-button" plugin version 1.0 exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of dangerous functions, the exclusive use of prepared statements for SQL queries, and 100% proper output escaping are excellent indicators of secure coding practices. Furthermore, the presence of a nonce check on its single AJAX handler, coupled with zero recorded CVEs, suggests a low immediate risk. However, the lack of capability checks on the AJAX handler is a notable concern. While the nonce check provides some protection, an attacker who can bypass the nonce or exploit a separate vulnerability to submit a request could potentially trigger the AJAX action without proper authorization. The plugin's clean vulnerability history is a positive sign, but it doesn't negate the need for robust authorization checks.
