Is RJ Quick Empty Trash Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100RJ Quick Empty Trash has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "rj-quick-empty-trash" plugin v0.0.2 exhibits a concerning security posture primarily due to its unprotected entry points. While the plugin demonstrates good practices in its handling of SQL queries, utilizing prepared statements exclusively, and has no recorded vulnerability history, the presence of two AJAX handlers lacking authentication checks is a significant weakness. This means that any authenticated user, regardless of their role or permissions, could potentially trigger these AJAX actions. The taint analysis revealing two flows with unsanitized paths, though not reaching critical or high severity, also warrants attention as it indicates potential for unexpected behavior or data manipulation if an attacker can control the inputs to these flows. The limited attack surface and absence of critical vulnerabilities in its history are positive signs, but the current lack of proper authorization on its primary interaction points introduces a notable risk that should be addressed.
Key Concerns
- Unprotected AJAX handlers
- Flows with unsanitized paths (non-critical)
- No nonce checks on AJAX handlers
