Is Simple Revision Control Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Simple Revision Control has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "simple-revision-control" plugin version 2.2.4 exhibits a strong security posture based on the static analysis provided. The absence of any unprotected AJAX handlers or REST API routes, along with the complete use of prepared statements for all SQL queries, are significant strengths. The plugin also demonstrates good practices in output escaping, with a very high percentage properly handled. Furthermore, the lack of any recorded vulnerabilities, including critical or high severity ones, in its history is a strong indicator of a well-maintained and secure codebase. The presence of non-critical entry points and the use of capability checks contribute to its overall security. The only minor concern is the inclusion of the Select2 library, which could potentially introduce risks if it were outdated or vulnerable, though no direct evidence of this is presented in the analysis.
