Vulnerable plugins and themes are some of the most common vectors for attacks on WordPress websites. Our weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report, now powered by Patchstack, covers new WordPress plugins, themes, and core vulnerabilities that have emerged since last week’s report. Our goal is to help you decide what to do if you are using one of these vulnerable plugins or themes on your website. For a deeper, historical analysis of WordPress vulnerabilities and threat vectors, see our 2022 Annual Vulnerability Report.

The Future of Authentication is Passkeys! Log into your WordPress site with Biometrics only available in iThemes Security Pro.

Credential stuffing, phishing, and brute force attacks using stolen, guessable, or reused passwords have made our digital lives less secure. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) offers some protection but at the cost of usability and accessibility. Fewer than 30% of all online account holders actually use 2FA. Password-based logins are broken.
