This plugin integrates with the WPVulnerability API to provide real-time vulnerability assessments for your WordPress core, plugins, themes, PHP version, Apache HTTPD, nginx, MariaDB, MySQL, ImageMagick, curl, memcached, Redis, and SQLite.

It delivers detailed reports directly within your WordPress dashboard, helping you stay aware of potential security risks. Configure the plugin to send periodic notifications about your site's security status, ensuring you remain informed without being overwhelmed. Designed for ease of use, it supports proactive security measures without storing or retrieving any personal data from your site.

= REST API =

The WPVulnerability plugin provides several REST API endpoints to fetch vulnerability information for different components of your WordPress site.

Core: /wpvulnerability/v1/core
Plugins: /wpvulnerability/v1/plugins
Themes: /wpvulnerability/v1/themes
PHP: /wpvulnerability/v1/php
Apache HTTPD: /wpvulnerability/v1/apache
nginx: /wpvulnerability/v1/nginx
MariaDB: /wpvulnerability/v1/mariadb
MySQL: /wpvulnerability/v1/mysql
ImageMagick: /wpvulnerability/v1/imagemagick
curl: /wpvulnerability/v1/curl
memcached: /wpvulnerability/v1/memcached
Redis: /wpvulnerability/v1/redis
SQLite: /wpvulnerability/v1/sqlite

The WPVulnerability REST API uses Application Passwords for authentication. You need to include a valid Application Password in the Authorization header of your requests.

Example Request with Authentication

curl -X GET https://example.com/wp-json/wpvulnerability/v1/plugins -u username:application_password

Replace username with your WordPress username and application_password with your Application Password.

If, for some reason, you need the emails sent by the plugin to have a From different from the site administrator, you can change it from the wp-config.php by adding a constant:

define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_MAIL', '[email protected]' );

If the constant is active, it will be visible in the configuration screen.
