Title: Security and Vulnerability Shield Author: SiteCops Published: Septanm 19, 2015 Last modified: Oktòb 13, 2015 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/security-and-vulnerability-shield/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev =1249145) # Security and Vulnerability Shield By [SiteCops](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sitecops/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/security-and-vulnerability-shield.2.2.zip) * [Details](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/security-and-vulnerability-shield/#description) * [Reviews](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/security-and-vulnerability-shield/#reviews) * [Installation](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/security-and-vulnerability-shield/#installation) * [Development](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/security-and-vulnerability-shield/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/security-and-vulnerability-shield/) ## Description Plugin made to ease the process of keeping your site safe (from potential exploits/ vulnerabilities in WordPress or plugins). **Anyone can use it, no coding skills required**, just **click “Scan”** (next to“ Add New” in the Plugins section in WordPress) and you will get an immediate report for all of your currently installed plugins – which one is vulnerable and which one is safe. No need to monitor 20 websites and receive 100+ emails (from groups and newsletters) so that you can keep up to date with the **latest vulnerabilities in WordPress and its related plugins… our team will do that for you**! Note: Currently, we are limiting the number of scan per day (per ip/site) to 10, mainly because we want to protect our servers from getting hammered by bad users. In the future we will most likely remove this limitation, but until then, please remember that this is a **free plugin** and despite that it costs us **tons of hours( of processing emails, data, reviewing plugins, exploits/vulnerabilities, developing and maintaining this plugin) we will try to always have a free version that helps the WordPress community to protect their sites. ## Screenshots * [[ * Its that simple! * [[ * Example of a plugin for which we have information of a known vulnerability. ## Installation 1. Install via wordpress.org 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Go to ‘Plugins’ and click ‘Scan’ (next to the “Add New” button). 4. You will see your plugins marked with a “no vulnerabilities found” (green) or “ vulnerability found” (red) as soon as the scan finishes. ## FAQ Do you provide support? Currently we provide community based support via WordPress.org’s plugin forums OR via support@sitecops.com ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/979f00692887cd6b33b9a65d7a8a1ba0ab9cd3d39234e6f0ac49477ab549488c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does not recognize cforms vulnerablity](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-recognize-cforms-vulnerablity/)󠁿 [The Hack Repair Guy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tvcnet/) Septanm 3, 2016 1 reply 1. Did no recognize cforms vulnerabiltiy https://wpvulndb.com/vulnerabilities/7752 2. Should only show a statement when plugin “is” vulnerable. Otherwise clutters up the plugins list with lots of green unappetizing text. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e680843825aad19dfa15e7439e977e6ef09e7f6c96c43af9b97cf90d1590c90? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Hello world!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hello-world-15/)󠁿 [SiteCops](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sitecops/) Septanm 3, 2016 Dear users, We are happy to announce our most advanced free plugin – Security and Vulnerability Shield.
