This plugin adds an admin page under the Tools section that reports on any known vulnerabilities in your version of WordPress and any installed themes or plugins.<\/p>\n\n

This information is only visible to administrators (or more precisely, those with the manage_options<\/code> capability). Subscribers, authors and editors cannot see the data.<\/p>\n\n

Source<\/h3>\n\n

The information this plugin uses comes from the WPScan Vulnerability Database: https:\/\/wpvulndb.com\/. It uses a cache and internal throttling to ensure its use of the API is not excessive or abusive.<\/p>\n\n

Note<\/h3>\n\n

Using this plugin does not guarantee that your site has no vulnerabilities. It also does not absolve you from responsibilities as a site owner to secure your site in other ways, such as SSL or host security. This plugin is only a tool; using it responsibly is up to you.<\/p>\n\n

WP-CLI<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin registers a WP-CLI command, that allows you to scan from the command line. The response codes are compatible with Nagios (1 for critical error, 2 for warning, 3 for unknown).<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • wp vuln scan<\/code>, to report all known vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n
  • wp vuln plugins<\/code>, to report only vulnerabilities in plugins.<\/li>\n
  • wp vuln themes<\/code>, to report only vulnerabilities in themes.<\/li>\n
  • wp vuln wp<\/code>, to report only vulnerabilities in WordPress core.<\/li>\n
  • wp vuln details<\/code>, to show a more detailed output on known vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n
  • wp vuln clear<\/code>, to clear the internal cache of vulnerability data. This will result in making extra requests to the API, and is probably not needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
