Description

Stay ahead of vulnerabilities.
VulnDex Beacon keeps your WordPress security intelligence fresh by securely syncing technical details with your VulnDex account — giving you full visibility into outdated or vulnerable components.

VulnDex is a European-made platform for Vulnerability Intelligence & Management, designed to help organizations track, prioritize, and mitigate security issues before they escalate.

✨ Key Features
– 🔄 Automatic sync of WordPress core, plugins, and themes
– 🕒 Scheduled reports every two hours
– 🔐 Secure communication via HTTPS
– 💡 Instant insight into vulnerable components
– 🧩 Lightweight, transparent, and maintenance-free

No heavy scanners. No bloat. Just smart automation.

Privacy

Your privacy matters.
This plugin transmits only non-personal, technical information required for vulnerability tracking:

  • WordPress core version
  • Installed plugins (name, version, active status)
  • Installed themes (name, version, active status)
  • PHP version
  • Site URL and home URL
  • OS information (name, version)

Important: Users must explicitly enter an API key in the settings to enable data transmission. No data is sent without this configuration.

No user data, posts, or content are ever sent.
All communication occurs securely via HTTPS.

For details, see the VulnDex Privacy Policy.
