Is Suggest 404 links Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100Suggest 404 links has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The plugin "suggest-404-links" v0.3.2 exhibits a generally good security posture in terms of its attack surface and output sanitization. All identified entry points (AJAX, REST API, shortcodes, cron) are either protected by authentication or permission checks, and all output is properly escaped. The absence of external HTTP requests and a clean vulnerability history further contribute to its positive security profile. However, a significant concern is the presence of the `unserialize` function, which, when used with untrusted input, can lead to Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities. While taint analysis shows no current flows with unsanitized paths, the potential for such a flow exists if `unserialize` is ever exposed to external data without proper sanitization or validation. The static analysis also indicates that the single SQL query is not using prepared statements, which could be a risk if sensitive data is involved or if the query is dynamically constructed.
Key Concerns
- Use of unserialize without clear sanitization context
- SQL query not using prepared statements
