Foresight is designed to make it easier for administrators to 
keep track of security vulnerabilities which exist within WordPress and 
Wordpress plugins. It does this by loading a tabbed display of known 
exploits into the WordPress administrative backend. (It’s available under 
‘Tools’ -> ‘Foresight’ in the admin side-bar.)
Using the plugin is simple: when you log in to perform your various 
administrative tasks, take a moment to browse through the known exploits. 
If you see vulnerabilities in that plugins you use, take the appropriate 
action. (What’s “appropriate” of course, will vary based off of several 
factors, but may range from doing nothing to disabling the vulnerable 
plugin.)
<h3>Misc</h3>
Know that the ‘1337Day’ tab behaves slightly differently than the other 
tabs. Rather than loading WordPress exploits by automatically, it will 
first require you to check a checkbox promising not to use the exploits 
catalogued on the site for nefarious purposes. From there, you’ll have 
to manually search for WordPress exploits by clicking on the ‘search’ 
link.
