Is SyHi Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100SyHi has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The syhi plugin v0.0.4 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The complete absence of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events significantly limits the potential attack surface. Furthermore, the code signals indicate a lack of dangerous functions, no file operations, and no external HTTP requests, all positive indicators for security. The use of prepared statements for all SQL queries is also a commendable practice, mitigating SQL injection risks.
Key Concerns
- Output not properly escaped
- No nonce checks
