Is Simple Adsense Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Simple Adsense has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'simple-adsense' plugin v1.0.3 exhibits a mixed security posture. On the positive side, it shows no known CVEs, no file operations, no external HTTP requests, and all SQL queries are properly prepared. The attack surface is also reported as zero, with no AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, which is a significant strength. However, there are several concerning aspects. The use of the `create_function` is a dangerous function that can lead to remote code execution if not handled with extreme care. Furthermore, a low percentage of output is properly escaped, indicating a high risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The absence of nonce and capability checks is also a major concern, as it suggests that any entry points, if they were present, would be unprotected against common WordPress attacks.
Key Concerns
- Dangerous function detected (create_function)
- Low output escaping percentage
- Missing nonce checks
- Missing capability checks
