Perfect For Vulnerability Checks

I was sad that WPScan discontinued their plugin. Then, JetPack picked up the work with JetPack Protection. I definitely did not want to use anything related to JetPack with their bloatware products.

I am happy that Patchstack has a plugin to scan for plugin and theme vulnerabilities. The plugin works as expected and email notifications for finding any vulnerable plugin or theme is a must. Especially, with how big WordPress’s ecosystem has grown over the years with thousands upon thousands of open-source plugins and themes that are made for it.

Being notified 48hrs of a security issue before it’s made public gives you enough time to update your software (if a fix is available) or take corrective measures to prevent a hack.
