Product Description
MainWP Vulnerability Checker is a security extension for the MainWP dashboard that monitors plugins and themes across all managed child sites for known vulnerabilities. It cross-references installed software versions against vulnerability databases to identify security risks before they can be exploited.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
The extension runs scheduled scans across your entire MainWP network, checking every installed plugin and theme version against current vulnerability data. When a vulnerability is detected, it generates an alert with severity classification and affected site details.
Vulnerability Intelligence
- Severity ratings — vulnerabilities are classified by severity level to help prioritize remediation efforts
- Affected component details — identifies the specific plugin or theme version with the known vulnerability
- Remediation guidance — recommends actions such as updating to a patched version or deactivating the component
- Historical tracking — logs detected vulnerabilities and their resolution status over time
Network-Wide Visibility
The dashboard view shows vulnerability status across all managed sites in a single interface. You can see which sites are affected by specific vulnerabilities, track remediation progress, and identify patterns like widely-deployed vulnerable plugins across your network.
Integration with MainWP Updates
When a vulnerability has a patch available via a software update, the extension connects with MainWP's update management features. This allows you to deploy security patches across affected sites directly from the vulnerability report.
