<p>Depending on your server setup, there may be tests in the WordPress Site Health tool that are not relevant and will never pass. For example, you may have background updates disabled if your entire site is kept under version control.</p>
<p>This plugin adds a simple settings page to exclude those tests from the Site Health Status page.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This should <em>only</em> be used to disable tests with a legitimate and acceptable reason for failing. <em>It should not be used to hide tests which can be fixed.</em></p>

Site Health Tool Manager

This plugin enables me to somewhat control the site Health, and having the luxury to not explain certain things to my customers...

Thanks.

Really Good !

If you manage a website for someone who maintains administrator privileges on the site, but would be bothered by failing tests in WordPress 5.2's new Site Health dashboard, this plugin is an excellent tool. 

Note: you should NOT use this plugin to ignore problems on the site like woefully out-of-date PHP or other critical security issues. Instead, you should resolve the root issue. 

But (for example) if your server/host is unable to update to PHP 7.3 (at the time of this review, that's the recommended version) but is running 7.2... it may be useful to remove that "recommendation" from the list of checks temporarily. 

Another plus in the plus-column: this plugin can even remove tests that are added by third-party code.  

Excellent plugin for developers and power users.

Thanks for making this plugin, essential tool so that clients do not get in panic!

Must-have tool for WP 5.2+ and clients... :-)

Easily control which tests appear in the the Site Health Tool

<p>This plugin integrates with the WPVulnerability API to provide real-time vulnerability assessments for your WordPress core, plugins, themes, PHP version, Apache HTTPD, nginx, MariaDB, MySQL, ImageMagick, curl, memcached, Redis, and SQLite.</p>
<p>It delivers detailed reports directly within your WordPress dashboard, helping you stay aware of potential security risks. Configure the plugin to send periodic notifications about your site’s security status, ensuring you remain informed without being overwhelmed. Designed for ease of use, it supports proactive security measures without storing or retrieving any personal data from your site.</p>
<h4>Data reliability</h4>
<p>The information provided by the information database comes from different sources that have been reviewed by third parties. There is no liability of any kind for the information. Act at your own risk.</p>
<h3>Using the plugin</h3>
<h4>WP-CLI</h4>
<p>You can use the following WP-CLI commands to manage and check vulnerabilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Core: <code>wp wpvulnerability core</code></li>
<li>Plugins: <code>wp wpvulnerability plugins</code></li>
<li>Themes: <code>wp wpvulnerability themes</code></li>
<li>PHP: <code>wp wpvulnerability php</code></li>
<li>Apache HTTPD: <code>wp wpvulnerability apache</code></li>
<li>nginx: <code>wp wpvulnerability nginx</code></li>
<li>MariaDB: <code>wp wpvulnerability mariadb</code></li>
<li>MySQL: <code>wp wpvulnerability mysql</code></li>
<li>ImageMagick: <code>wp wpvulnerability imagemagick</code></li>
<li>curl: <code>wp wpvulnerability curl</code></li>
<li>memcached: <code>wp wpvulnerability memcached</code></li>
<li>Redis: <code>wp wpvulnerability redis</code></li>
<li>SQLite: <code>wp wpvulnerability sqlite</code></li>
</ul>
<p>To configure the plugin you can use:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hide component: <code>wp wpvulnerability config hide <component> [on|off]</code></li>
<li>Notification email: <code>wp wpvulnerability config email <emails></code> (comma separatted)</li>
<li>Notification period: <code>wp wpvulnerability config period <never|daily|weekly></code></li>
<li>Log retention: <code>wp wpvulnerability config log-retention <0|1|7|14|28></code> (in days)</li>
<li>Cache duration: <code>wp wpvulnerability config cache <1|6|12|24></code> (in hours)</li>
</ul>
<p>All commands support the <code>--format</code> option to specify the output format:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--format=table</code>: Displays the results in a table format (default).</li>
<li><code>--format=json</code>: Displays the results in JSON format.</li>
</ul>
<p>Need help?</p>
<ul>
<li><code>wp wpvulnerability --help</code>: Displays help information for WPVulnerability commands.</li>
<li><code>wp wpvulnerability [command] --help</code>: Displays help information for a WPVulnerability command.</li>
</ul>
<h4>REST API</h4>
<p>The WPVulnerability plugin provides several <strong>REST API endpoints</strong> to fetch vulnerability information for different components of your WordPress site.</p>
<ul>
<li>Core: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/core</code></li>
<li>Plugins: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/plugins</code></li>
<li>Themes: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/themes</code></li>
<li>PHP: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/php</code></li>
<li>Apache HTTPD: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/apache</code></li>
<li>nginx: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/nginx</code></li>
<li>MariaDB: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/mariadb</code></li>
<li>MySQL: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/mysql</code></li>
<li>ImageMagick: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/imagemagick</code></li>
<li>curl: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/curl</code></li>
<li>memcached: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/memcached</code></li>
<li>Redis: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/redis</code></li>
<li>SQLite: <code>/wpvulnerability/v1/sqlite</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The WPVulnerability REST API uses <strong>Application Passwords</strong> for authentication. You need to include a valid Application Password in the Authorization header of your requests.</p>
<p>Example Request with Authentication</p>
<pre><code>curl -X GET https://example.com/wp-json/wpvulnerability/v1/plugins -u username:application_password
</code></pre>
<p>Replace username with your WordPress <code>username</code> and <code>application_password</code> with your <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/05/application-passwords-integration-guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">Application Password</a>.</p>
<h3>Extra Configurations</h3>
<h4>“From:” mail (since: 3.2.2)</h4>
<p>If, for some reason, you need the emails sent by the plugin to have a From different from the site administrator, you can change it from the <code>wp-config.php</code> by adding a constant:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_MAIL', 'sender@example.com' );
</code></pre>
<p>If the constant is active, it will be visible in the configuration screen.</p>
<h4>Force hiding checks (since: 4.1.0)</h4>
<p>If you want to always hide a specific component, you can define a constant in <code>wp-config.php</code>. When set to <code>true</code>, the option will be checked automatically in the settings screen and the related analysis will be skipped.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_APACHE', true );
</code></pre>
<p>Available constants: <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_CORE</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_PLUGINS</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_THEMES</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_PHP</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_APACHE</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_NGINX</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_MARIADB</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_MYSQL</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_IMAGEMAGICK</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_CURL</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_MEMCACHED</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_REDIS</code>, <code>WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_SQLITE</code>.</p>
<h4>Cache duration (since: 4.1.0)</h4>
<p>By default, data from the API is cached for 12 hours.</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_CACHE_HOURS', 24 );
</code></pre>
<p>To change this, define <code>WPVULNERABILITY_CACHE_HOURS</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code> with one of <code>1</code>, <code>6</code>, <code>12</code> or <code>24</code>. This value overrides the setting screen and WP-CLI command.</p>
<h4>Log rotation (since: 4.2.0)</h4>
<p>WPVulnerability stores the most recent API responses so you can review recent calls from the new log tab. Define <code>WPVULNERABILITY_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code> to control how many days of entries are preserved. Supported values are <code>0</code>, <code>1</code>, <code>7</code>, <code>14</code> or <code>28</code>; using <code>0</code> disables logging entirely.</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS', 14 );
</code></pre>
<p>When the constant is present its value is enforced in the settings UI and through WP-CLI, ensuring consistent log rotation across environments.</p>

WPVulnerability

Without sending data, as other plugins does, the best way to detect vulnerabilities without privacy concerns.

The best way to detect vulnerabilities, and free!

Fácil de instalar y configurar y de gran utilidad para detectar vulnerabilidades en nuestro WordPress. Totalmente recomendable. 

Imprescindible para toda web

Gracias por el plugin. 

Ya puedo estar informado fácilmente de las vulnerabilidades de mi web.

Lo mejor para estar informado de las vulnerabilidades de tu WordPress

This plugin uses an API to check if the version of your core, themes and/or plugins present on your WordPress installation has any known vulnerability.

It cares about efficiency so it can be always active, it won't have any noticeable affection to the load time of the public website (it only connects to the api when an administrator installs/updates something and also via cron each several hours).

I can recommend to have this plugin active to help you spot possible vulnerabilities when forgot or delayed the update of plugin/theme/core. 

A great aid for detecting vulnerabilities.


Without a doubt, the most important plugin to install on your WordPress instance.
