Is Simple Share Sticky Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Simple Share Sticky has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The static analysis of the 'simple-share-sticky' plugin reveals a generally positive security posture, with no identified dangerous functions, raw SQL queries, or external HTTP requests. The absence of known CVEs in its vulnerability history also suggests a history of responsible development or a lack of targeted vulnerabilities. However, a significant concern arises from the complete lack of output escaping, indicating that all outputs are potentially vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. While the attack surface appears minimal, the unprotected entry points are zero, this doesn't negate the risk of XSS if any output is indeed rendered without sanitization. The presence of one nonce check is a good practice, but the complete absence of capability checks on any entry points is a critical oversight. This means that any functionality exposed, however small, could be accessed by any logged-in user, regardless of their role or permissions, increasing the risk of unauthorized actions or information disclosure.
