Bang Vulnerability Scanner is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by Marcus Downing.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Bang Vulnerability Scanner is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Marcus Downing — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Bang Vulnerability Scanner works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin adds an admin page under the Tools section that reports on any known vulnerabilities in your version of WordPress and any installed themes or plugins.
This information is only visible to administrators (or more precisely, those with the manage_options capability). Subscribers, authors and editors cannot see the data.
Source The information this plugin uses comes from the WPScan Vulnerability Database: https://wpvulndb.com/. It uses a cache and internal throttling to ensure its use of the API is not excessive or abusive.
Note Using this plugin does not guarantee that your site has no vulnerabilities. It also does not absolve you from responsibilities as a site owner to secure your site in other ways, such as SSL or host security. This plugin is only a tool; using it responsibly is up to you.
WP-CLI This plugin registers a WP-CLI command, that allows you to scan from the command line. The response codes are compatible with Nagios (1 for critical error, 2 for warning, 3 for unknown).
wp vuln scan, to report all known vulnerabilities.
wp vuln plugins, to report only vulnerabilities in plugins.
wp vuln themes, to report only vulnerabilities in themes.
wp vuln wp, to report only vulnerabilities in WordPress core.
wp vuln details, to show a more detailed output on known vulnerabilities.
wp vuln clear, to clear the internal cache of vulnerability data. This will result in making extra requests to the API, and is probably not needed.
