WordPress has been very fierce in the interests of cybercriminals in recent months, no wonder with more than 26% market share among CMS systems. Some of the recent security holes were even so severe that the FBI sent even warnings.
Not long after WordPress published a security White Paper, there was a considerable increase in the detection of security risks in various plug-ins. As one of the first issues that came to light, we were dealing with SQL injection risk in the popular Yoast SEO plugin, almost immediately folded by a security release of the Pods framework. Currently, WordPress does not yet have a system in place to identify plugins for which automatic updates are pushed. Before this process is in order, there must be consultation between the core developers and the plug-in developers.
When the process for these automatic updates is up to date, it would be nice to have a portion of these forced automated updates on WordPress.org. Until then, WordPress users must be extremely aware of keeping up with all their plug-ins used.
Therefore, there is now a plug-in " Plugin Vulnerabilities " that helps users stay informed about security releases. Once installed on your website, it can automatically index which plug-ins contain a security risk. And it will keep you informed via the admin. It is also possible to send these alerts via email.
As you can see in the above email, WikiBeginner is neatly up to date! The plug-in was built by white fir American American company specializing in internet security software, the company has a program in which security bugs are reported to be rewarded.
Keeping up to date of your WordPress installation is essential for the proper functioning of your site. Sometimes you do not notice it yourself, but your website can spread malware, send spam or be included in a DDoS botnet. Due to the great popularity of WordPress, there will be more bugs and security risks in plug-ins and templates in the future. This plug-in can help you in the timely inventory of plug-ins that need to be updated.
