What Plugin Vulnerabilities Was Up to in September
If you want the best information and therefore best protection against vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins we provide you that through our service. Here is what we did to keep those are already using our service secure from WordPress plugin vulnerabilities during September (and what you have been missing out on if you haven’t signed up yet).
Paid customers of the service can suggest and vote on plugins to have a security review done by us (you can also order a review separately). This month we released details of our reviews of Redis Object Cache and Nginx Cache.
During the month we added data on 79 vulnerabilities. Many of those vulnerabilities were ones that we discovered (33 of them) or ones where no report was put out on the vulnerability and we determined the details from other information we ran across (another 21 of them).
By comparison other data sources added less new vulnerabilities in total than ones we discovered, as the WPScan Vulnerability Database only added 25 vulnerabilities and ThreatPress also only added 25. ThreatPress seems to almost entirely copy data from the WPScan Vulnerability Database and WPScan Vulnerability Database intentionally doesn’t include a lot of vulnerabilities for a reason that doesn’t make sense to us (and probably one that wouldn’t make sense to you either).
As of the end of the month, 26 of the vulnerabilities we had added to the data set still had yet to be fixed.
We added vulnerabilities in the following plugins to our data set during the month:

And the point of this article is? Next time I see someone arguing about the importance of ethics in high end practical certifications, I will point them to your company activity. Thanks.
It let’s people know what we were up to last month, as was explained in the title of the post. Do you think it is unethical to do that?
