Security Scan: WordPress plugin versions exposed

  • Hi Everyone,

    A recent formal security scan of a site i look after has highlighted a security “risk”

    WordPress plugin versions exposed

    Ensuring WordPress plugin versions are not exposed can make it harder for attackers to find exploits against your site.

    A potential hacker could see the plugin versions e.g. cookie-notice: 2.2.1, genesis-slider: 0.9.6, simple-sitemap: 3.5.4, simple-social-icons: 1.1.21, lightweight-grid-columns: 1.0

    How can I hide the Plugin versions to external users please?

    none of the standard security pluigns e.g. Wordfence, Sucurri etc seem to offer this feature so I’m a bit stuck since the external organisation doing this pen test insist this is a vulnerabiltiy

    Thanks as always for your help
