Is SyntaxHighlighter Evolved: SASS Brush Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100SyntaxHighlighter Evolved: SASS Brush has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The static analysis of syntaxhighlighter-evolved-sass-brush v1.3.0 reveals a remarkably clean codebase with no identified attack surface, dangerous functions, unescaped output, or file operations. The complete absence of external HTTP requests and SQL queries that are not using prepared statements further bolsters this positive finding. The taint analysis also shows no concerning flows, indicating a low risk of injection vulnerabilities. The plugin's vulnerability history is also clear, with zero recorded CVEs, suggesting a strong track record of security. However, the lack of nonce and capability checks across all entry points, though currently non-existent, represents a potential future concern. If new entry points are introduced without proper authentication and authorization, this could become a significant weakness. Despite this, the current version exhibits excellent security practices, with a focus on secure coding standards.
