Alerts you when exploited vulnerabilities are in your installed plugins and provides access to our more comprehensive Plugin Vulnerabilities service.

== Description ==

This plugin checks the plugins you have installed against a list of vulnerabilities in plugins that we have seen hackers trying to exploit. If the installed version of a plugin is vulnerable an alert is added to the Installed Plugins page and an email alert is sent, otherwise details of the vulnerabilities are included on the Plugin Vulnerabilities page.

This data can also be helpful when cleaning up a hacked website, as you want to determine how the website was hacked when doing that and this data may provide part of information needed to do that.

Since the vulnerability data for the plugin is included in the plugin, you will need to keep the plugin up to date to insure you have the latest data. You can use our [Automatic Plugin Updates plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-plugin-updates/) to automatically update this plugin and your other installed plugins.

You can use our [Plugin Security Checker plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-security-checker/) to check if a plugin might contain additional security issues.

= Sign Up For Our Plugin Vulnerabilities Service =

You can get alerted for known vulnerabilities in all the plugins you use, not just ones that we are already seeing evidence that hackers are targeting, when you [sign up](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/product/subscription/) for our Plugin Vulnerabilities service. As the data for that comes from checking with our service's API, you don't need to update the plugin to get alerted to new issues and you can have checks done as often as hourly.

Currently our service warns about vulnerabilities in the most recent version of plugins with over one million active installs that are still available in the Plugin Directory.

Through the service you also have access to a number of [other important features](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/why-plugin-vulnerabilities/) including the ability to [suggest/vote for which plugins we will do security reviews of](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/wordpress-plugin-security-reviews/) and help when dealing with a situation where you are using a plugin where the vulnerability has yet to be fixed (we can usually provide a temporary fix for the issue).

You can currently sign up for half off when you use the coupon code "HalfOff" when [signing up](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/product/subscription/). We include a free lifetime subscription to the service when [we do a WordPress Hack Cleanup](https://www.whitefirdesign.com/services/hacked-wordpress-website-cleanup.html).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where Does The Data Come From? =
As part of data collection for our [Plugin Vulnerabilities service](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com) we monitor a number of channels including our own websites, third party data on hacking attempts, and the WordPress support forums, for indications that hackers are targeting plugins. In many cases all we know based on that is that a plugin is being targeted, so we then will use our knowledge of previous vulnerabilities that hackers have targeted to find what a hacker may be targeting in the plugin.

= Adding/Correcting Our Data =
If you want to let us know of a missing exploited vulnerability or if we need to correct something in the listing for an included vulnerability, please contact us [here](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/contact/). For missing vulnerabilities please include a link to the details of the vulnerability.

= Getting More Complete Data =
If you want to be warned about all vulnerabilities, not just that those that are already targeted by hackers you can sign up for our [Plugin Vulnerabilities service](https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com).

= Can the Plugin Cause False Positives with Other Security Scanners =
This plugin determines if plugins are vulnerable based on the version of the plugin in use instead of trying to identify vulnerable code, so it will not cause false positives in other tools unless they are poorly made (which is true far too often).
