Vulnerable plugins and themes are the #1 reason WordPress websites get hacked. The weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report powered by WPScan covers recent WordPress plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities and what to do if you run one of the vulnerable plugins or themes on your website.
In the past, we’ve listed vulnerabilities on a per-plugin or per-theme basis. To better describe the vulnerabilities listed, we’re now adding additional listings when a plugin has patched multiple vulnerabilities. While this makes the report somewhat longer, we feel that more information will help you understand the full scope of the vulnerabilities that have been patched so that you can more effectively make good decisions about your site’s security. We welcome your feedback!
Each vulnerability will have a severity rating of low, medium, high, or critical. Responsible disclosure and reporting of vulnerabilities is an integral part of keeping the WordPress community safe. Please share this post with your friends to help get the word out and make WordPress safer for everyone!
