What the scanner checks
Vulnerable plugins and themes
Detects outdated plugins with known CVEs. 97% of WordPress vulnerabilities come from plugins, not the core.
Exposed wp-admin and wp-login
Checks if /wp-admin, /wp-login.php, and /xmlrpc.php are exposed without rate limiting or MFA.
Outdated WordPress core
Identifies running an outdated WordPress version and maps it to known CVEs.
Sensitive file exposure
Scans for wp-config.php backups, .sql dumps, readme.html, and debug.log files left behind.
Missing security headers
WordPress does not set CSP, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS by default. We find which are missing.
Database user enumeration
Tests if /?author=1 enumeration and REST API /wp-json/wp/v2/users leak usernames.
Why WordPress Security Matters
WordPress powers over 43% of all websites. That popularity makes it the #1 target for automated attacks — WPScan reports 90%+ of all CMS hacks target WordPress sites. The root cause is almost always the same: outdated plugins with known CVEs.
Our scanner combines CVE lookup against the NVD and OSV databases, real-time SSL analysis with SSLyze, and OWASP Top 10 checks. It detects the specific misconfigurations that matter on WordPress: exposed wp-config.php, missing security headers, weak cookie flags on wordpress_logged_in_*, and enumeration leaks via /wp-json/wp/v2/users.
