Key Features
Simple 301 Redirects maps old request paths to replacement URLs on the same site or elsewhere on the web. Wildcard rules can move a group of paths to a corresponding destination, which is useful during migrations or URL restructuring. The plugin provides import and export tools for redirect rules. The directory states that click tracking is offered by the separate BetterLinks plugin rather than this redirect manager.
Security Assurance
The certification examined permission checks for rule management and the validation of redirect sources and destinations. Wildcard processing, imported rule data, export output, and dashboard presentation were included in the review scope. Because a redirect deliberately changes a visitor destination, the trustworthiness of configured external URLs remains an administrative responsibility.
The plugin has been successfully tested for:
✅ Information Leakage Vulnerabilities
✅ SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
✅ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks
✅ Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Attacks
✅ Authentication and Authentication Bypass Vulnerabilities
✅ Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities
✅ Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
✅ Denial-of-Service (DoS) Vulnerabilities
✅ Data Leakage Vulnerabilities
✅ Insecure Dependencies
✅ Code Execution Vulnerabilities
✅ File Unauthorized Access Vulnerabilities
✅ Insufficient Injection Protection
Conclusion
Simple 301 Redirects version 2.1.2 receives PSC-2026-65719. Its reviewed scope covers redirect rules, administrative actions, wildcard handling, and bulk transfer of configuration. Keep the plugin updated and periodically check destination URLs so permanent redirects continue to support the intended site structure.
Note: The date and certification information may change over time. It is advisable to verify the latest details on the plugin developer’s website.
