Most compromised WordPress sites aren’t hit by some clever, brand-new exploit – they’re breached through a known vulnerability in an outdated plugin or theme that nobody noticed in time. The fix is almost always as simple as running an update. The hard part is knowing there’s a problem at all. SiteCare Vulnerability Scanner watches that blind spot for you. It checks your installed plugins, themes, and WordPress core against a continuously updated database of publicly known vulnerabilities, then tells you in plain language – right in your dashboard – what is affected and what to do about it. Automatic daily monitoring in the background – plus an instant re-scan whenever you install, update or activate a plugin or theme. Email alerts the moment a new vulnerability appears, so you find out without having to be logged in. Clear severity ratings (CVSS) and CVE references, with the most urgent components listed first. One-click updates right from the results whenever a fix is available. Security score A-F (0-100) that grades your whole site at a glance, with a trend against your previous scan. Abandoned & removed plugin detection – warns you when an installed plugin has been closed on WordPress.org or has had no update for years. Slack / Discord alerts via webhook, and a WP-CLI command (wp vulnerability scan) with a CI-friendly exit code. Shown where you already look – a dashboard widget and a WordPress Site Health check. Your site’s data never leaves your server. The plugin only reads public vulnerability information through the WP Vulnerability API – no account, no external tracking, and no noticeable impact on performance. Key Features Accurate version-range detection against a continuously updated vulnerability database Automatic background scans (daily, configurable) with instant re-checks after site changes Email alerts for newly discovered vulnerabilities – only new ones, never repeated Severity ratings (CVSS), CVE references and “fixed in” versions One-click updates for affected plugins, themes and WordPress core Dashboard widget and WordPress Site Health integration Security score (A-F / 0-100) with a trend against the previous scan Detection of abandoned and removed (closed) plugins via the WordPress.org API Slack and Discord notifications through a webhook URL WP-CLI command (wp vulnerability scan / status) with a CI-friendly exit code Ships fully translated into five world languages – German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian – plus Czech.
