<p><strong>Please note:</strong> This plugin is no longer actively supported for non-enterprise customers. <strong>We recommend using <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-protect/" rel="ugc">Jetpack Protect</a></strong> – a free security plugin for WordPress that leverages the extensive database of WPScan. Jetpack Protect scans your site and warns you about vulnerabilities, keeping your site one step ahead of security threats and malware.</p>
<p>The WPScan WordPress security plugin is unique in that it uses its own manually curated <a href="https://wpscan.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WPScan WordPress Vulnerability Database</a>. The vulnerability database has been around since 2014 and is updated on a daily basis by dedicated WordPress security specialists and the community at large. The database includes more than 21,000 known security vulnerabilities. The plugin uses this database to scan for <a href="https://wpscan.com/wordpresses" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress vulnerabilities</a>, <a href="https://wpscan.com/plugins" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin vulnerabilities</a> and <a href="https://wpscan.com/themes" rel="nofollow ugc">theme vulnerabilities</a>, and has the options to schedule automated daily scans and to send email notifications.</p>
<p>WPScan has a Free API plan that should be suitable for most WordPress websites, however, also has paid plans for users who may need more API calls. To use the WPScan WordPress Security Plugin you will need to use a free API token by <a href="https://wpscan.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">registering here</a>.</p>

<h4>How many API requests do you need?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Our WordPress scanner makes one API request for the WordPress version, one request per installed plugin and one request per installed theme.</li>
<li>On average, a WordPress website has 22 installed plugins.</li>
<li>The Free plan should cover around 50% of all WordPress websites.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security Checks</h4>
<p>The WPScan WordPress Security Plugin will also check for other security issues, which do not require an API token, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Check for debug.log files</li>
<li>Check for wp-config.php backup files</li>
<li>Check if XML-RPC is enabled</li>
<li>Check for code repository files</li>
<li>Check if default secret keys are used</li>
<li>Check for exported database files</li>
<li>Weak passwords</li>
<li>HTTPS enabled</li>
</ul>
