Roughly 40% of the web runs on WordPress. Most small business breaches aren't sophisticated — they're outdated plugins with publicly known vulnerabilities.
The plugin update trap
You install a contact form plugin, a SEO plugin, a payment extension. Each one is maintained by a different developer. When a security hole is discovered, attackers scan the entire internet within hours looking for sites still running the old version.
Signs you're at risk
- Plugins you haven't updated in months
- Inactive plugins still installed (they still execute code)
- Premium plugins with expired licenses (no security patches)
- "Admin" or "test" accounts with weak passwords
What Korisec checks
Our WordPress scan passively detects installed plugins and themes, then matches them against a database of known CVEs. You see results like:
> Outdated plugin detected — Version 2.1.4 has a known SQL injection flaw. Update to 2.1.7 or remove the plugin.
No jargon. Just the problem, the risk, and the fix.
