Your WordPress Scan Came Back Clean. You Are Still Exposed.

WordPress vulnerability scanners test against known CVEs in core, themes, and plugins. But the attack surface extends far beyond what any scanner checks. Configuration drift, abandoned plugins removed from vulnerability databases, server-level misconfigurations, and supply chain risks from premium themes create exposure that no automated scan can surface. A clean report is not a clean site.
