Is Unattach Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Unattach has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'unattach' plugin v1.2.2 exhibits a very strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events, especially those lacking authentication, results in a negligible attack surface. Furthermore, the code demonstrates excellent security practices with no dangerous functions, 100% prepared SQL statements, and all outputs properly escaped. The presence of nonce and capability checks, although limited in number, further strengthens its defense. The taint analysis also reveals no identified security issues with unsanitized paths. This clean bill of health in static analysis, combined with zero recorded vulnerabilities in its history, indicates a well-developed and secure plugin.
