Vulnerability Checking

Use the Security tab for a site to check plugins, themes, and WordPress core for known issues.

WP Foundry security scan with vulnerability results

Click the vulnerability check action on the Security page. Findings are listed with details when available, and the page shows a security score based on the scan.

Data is sourced from the WordPress Vulnerability Database API (WPVulnerability). Results are stored on your computer so repeated checks across sites can reuse recent data and reduce duplicate lookups. Nothing about your sites is uploaded to a WP Foundry cloud service.

Fix many issues by updating the affected plugin, theme, or core from the corresponding tabs (often via the queue).
