Is Simple Text to Speech Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Simple Text to Speech has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "simple-text-to-speech" plugin, at version 1.0.0, demonstrates a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history. The absence of any known CVEs, unpatched vulnerabilities, or common vulnerability types indicates a mature and well-maintained codebase. The static analysis reveals an exceptionally clean code base with zero identified entry points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron events) that are unprotected. Furthermore, the code employs robust security practices such as 100% proper output escaping, 100% use of prepared statements for SQL queries, and a significant number of nonce and capability checks. This indicates a proactive approach to preventing common web vulnerabilities.
While the static analysis shows no critical or high severity taint flows, and no dangerous functions are present, the presence of one file operation and one external HTTP request warrants a minor degree of caution. These operations, although not currently identified as exploitable, represent potential avenues for future vulnerabilities if not handled with extreme care. The plugin's vulnerability history is a significant strength, suggesting a consistent commitment to security. Overall, this plugin appears to be very secure, with its primary strength lying in its minimal attack surface and diligent implementation of security best practices.
