Is Simple Debug Info Panel Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Simple Debug Info Panel has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'simple-debug-info-panel' plugin version 1.0.2 exhibits a generally positive security posture based on the provided static analysis. The plugin demonstrates good practices by utilizing prepared statements for all SQL queries and incorporating nonce and capability checks, albeit with a limited number of them. The absence of any known CVEs and a history of no reported vulnerabilities further contribute to a favorable security outlook. However, a significant concern arises from the output escaping, where only 40% of the identified outputs are properly escaped. This indicates a potential for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied or dynamic data is being rendered without adequate sanitization, especially given the limited scope of checks. The static analysis also reveals a complete lack of identified taint flows, which is positive, but this could also be a limitation of the analysis itself if the plugin has complex data handling that wasn't fully traced.
Key Concerns
- Low percentage of properly escaped output
- Limited number of nonce and capability checks
