Is Simple CSV Table Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 99/100Simple CSV Table has a strong security track record. Known vulnerabilities have been patched promptly. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "simple-csv-table" plugin version vtrunk exhibits a generally good security posture, with several strengths identified in the static analysis. Notably, all SQL queries utilize prepared statements, and all output is properly escaped, indicating careful handling of potentially sensitive data. The absence of dangerous functions and external HTTP requests further reduces the attack surface. However, a significant concern arises from the vulnerability history, which shows a past medium-severity "Path Traversal" vulnerability. While currently unpatched CVEs are zero, this indicates a historical tendency towards vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access or modification of files on the server. The static analysis does not reveal any immediate critical flaws in the current version's code, but the presence of file operations and a shortcode without explicit capability checks could be areas of potential future concern if not carefully managed in subsequent updates.
Key Concerns
- Previous Path Traversal vulnerability
- File operations present
- Shortcode without explicit capability checks
