Super Simple Events Security & Risk Analysis
wordpress.org/plugins/super-simple-eventsSuper Simple Events is an events plugin for WordPress, built to be easy to use and manage.
Is Super Simple Events Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Super Simple Events has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "super-simple-events" v1.0.4 plugin exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits its attack surface. Furthermore, all identified SQL queries are properly prepared, and the majority of output is correctly escaped, which are excellent security practices. The plugin also avoids file operations and external HTTP requests, further reducing potential vulnerabilities.
However, a critical concern arises from the presence of the `create_function` usage. This function is deprecated and can lead to serious security vulnerabilities, including remote code execution, if not handled with extreme care and strict input validation. The lack of any identified taint flows is positive, but this does not fully mitigate the risk associated with `create_function`, as its insecure usage might not have been captured by the specific taint analysis performed. The plugin's vulnerability history is clean, with no recorded CVEs, suggesting a good track record. Despite the minimal attack surface and good general coding practices, the single instance of `create_function` introduces a significant, albeit contained, risk that requires attention.
Key Concerns
- Use of deprecated and dangerous function `create_function`
- No nonce checks implemented
- No capability checks implemented
- Some output is not properly escaped
