Is Simple Webhooks Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 92/100Simple Webhooks has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "simple-webhooks" plugin v1.1 exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis results. The absence of any identified attack surface entry points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron events) that are unprotected is a significant strength. Furthermore, the code demonstrates excellent practices by exclusively using prepared statements for SQL queries and ensuring all output is properly escaped. The lack of any dangerous functions, file operations, or critical/high-severity taint flows further reinforces this positive assessment. The plugin also has no recorded vulnerability history, which is an excellent indicator of its current security state. The only notable elements are the presence of two external HTTP requests, which, while not inherently insecure, represent potential avenues for external interaction that should be monitored for any security implications in the plugin's functionality. However, given the overall lack of identified vulnerabilities and the robust secure coding practices observed, the plugin is considered very low risk.
