<p>OOPVulns is a modern, accessible WordPress plugin that continuously monitors your site for known security vulnerabilities in WordPress core, plugins, and themes.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Comprehensive Scanning</strong> – Scans WordPress core, all plugins, and all themes for known vulnerabilities</li>
<li><strong>Explicit Opt-In</strong> – Vulnerability scanning is disabled by default and only runs after admin consent</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Scans</strong> – Configurable daily or weekly automatic scanning</li>
<li><strong>Email Notifications</strong> – Get notified when vulnerabilities are detected</li>
<li><strong>Modern Dashboard</strong> – Clean, accessible admin interface with detailed vulnerability information</li>
<li><strong>Severity Indicators</strong> – Color-coded severity levels (Critical, High, Medium, Low)</li>
<li><strong>Update Guidance</strong> – See which vulnerabilities have fixes available</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>The plugin checks your installed WordPress core version, plugin versions, and theme versions against the OOPSpam vulnerability database. When a known vulnerability is found, you’ll see it in the dashboard and optionally receive an email notification.</p>
<h4>External Service</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the OOPSpam API to retrieve vulnerability information. When a scan runs, the following data is sent:</p>
<ul>
<li>WordPress core version</li>
<li>Plugin slugs and versions</li>
<li>Theme slugs and versions</li>
</ul>
<p>No personal data, user information, or site content is transmitted.<br />
Vulnerability API checks are disabled by default and only run after an administrator explicitly enables scanning in plugin settings.</p>

<h3>Instant protection against disclosed vulnerabilities</h3>
<p><a href="https://defendwp.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">DefendWP.org</a> is a WordPress plugin that protects your website from hackers exploiting vulnerable code on your website. Security research companies discover vulnerabilities and notify plugin developers to patch them. After some time, they disclose the vulnerability to the public, allowing you to update your plugins. However, this system has flaws. Once vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed, hackers rush to exploit the sites in which you haven’t yet applied the patch.</p>
<h4>A Better Approach: Immediate Protection for All Users</h4>
<p>To solve this, our plugin pushes firewall rules and patches as soon as vulnerabilities are disclosed, ensuring websites are protected without waiting for an official patch. This protection is silent and automatic, ensuring that you are not affected even if you don’t take any immediate action.</p>
<ol>
<li>Immediate Patches Upon Disclosure: When vulnerabilities are disclosed, our plugin pushes patches or firewall rules that prevent exploitation.</li>
<li>Silent Protection: We operate in the background, allowing plugin developers to roll out patches at their own pace without compromising user security.</li>
<li>Free and Accessible: Security should not be a privilege. Our plugin is free and accessible and ensures that all WordPress users are protected from newly disclosed vulnerabilities.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Protecting Everyone, Not Just the Privileged Few</h3>
<p>Security should not be reserved for those who can afford premium services. The spirit of WordPress is inclusivity, and this should extend to security as well. When vulnerabilities are disclosed, they pose a risk to every website, regardless of its owner’s resources. Every WordPress user should have access to immediate protection.</p>
<p>Security researchers play a vital role in identifying vulnerabilities, but the current system leaves too many users exposed. Our approach aims to create a safer WordPress ecosystem for all, by closing the gap between vulnerability disclosure and patching.</p>
<p>This isn’t about taking credit—it’s about prioritizing the safety of small business owners, bloggers, and entrepreneurs who rely on WordPress. By silently closing the vulnerability gap, we aim for a future where WordPress security is accessible to everyone.</p>
<p>Let’s build a safer WordPress ecosystem together—one that protects all users, not just the privileged few.</p>

<h4>Note</h4>
<p>This plugin utilizes the <a href="https://api.ipify.org?format=json" rel="nofollow ugc">Ipify.org</a> to provide enhanced functionality. The API allows the plugin to retrieve the exact IP of the current user, which will be used to determine whether the user can access the WordPress site.<a href="https://ipify.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy policy</a></p>
<p>Vulnerabilities, IPs, Plugins and Themes data will be sent between <a href="https://defendwp.org" rel="nofollow ugc">DefendWP.org</a> and the WP site to instantly patch from vulnerabilities.</p>
