<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>

<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>
<p><strong>The Free plan allows 25 API requests per day. View the different available <a href="https://wpscan.com/api" rel="nofollow ugc">API plans</a>.</strong></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>
<h4>What does the plugin do?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Scans for known WordPress vulnerabilities, plugin vulnerabilities and theme vulnerabilities;</li>
<li>Does additional security checks;</li>
<li>Shows an icon on the Admin Toolbar with the total number of security vulnerabilities found;</li>
<li>Notifies you by mail when new security vulnerabilities are found.</li>
