Is Very basic content restriction Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Very basic content restriction has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "very-basic-content-restriction" plugin version 1.4 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, or cron events significantly limits its attack surface, and crucially, all entry points appear to be protected. The plugin also demonstrates good practices by exclusively using prepared statements for its SQL queries and performing no file operations or external HTTP requests. However, a significant concern is the low percentage of properly escaped output (25%). This suggests that data displayed to users may not be adequately sanitized, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is directly rendered without proper escaping. The plugin's vulnerability history is clean, with no recorded CVEs, which is a positive indicator. Despite this, the unescaped output represents a notable weakness that could be exploited.
