Get WordPress vulnerability alerts from the [WPVulnerability Database API](https://www.wpvulnerability.com/).

== Description ==

This plugin integrates with the WPVulnerability API to provide real-time vulnerability assessments for your WordPress core, plugins, themes, PHP version, Apache HTTPD, nginx, MariaDB, MySQL, ImageMagick, curl, memcached, Redis, and SQLite.

It delivers detailed reports directly within your WordPress dashboard, helping you stay aware of potential security risks. Configure the plugin to send periodic notifications about your site's security status, ensuring you remain informed without being overwhelmed. Designed for ease of use, it supports proactive security measures without storing or retrieving any personal data from your site.

= Data reliability =

The information provided by the information database comes from different sources that have been reviewed by third parties. There is no liability of any kind for the information. Act at your own risk.

== Using the plugin ==

= WP-CLI =

You can use the following WP-CLI commands to manage and check vulnerabilities:

* Core: `wp wpvulnerability core`
* Plugins: `wp wpvulnerability plugins`
* Themes: `wp wpvulnerability themes`
* PHP: `wp wpvulnerability php`
* Apache HTTPD: `wp wpvulnerability apache`
* nginx: `wp wpvulnerability nginx`
* MariaDB: `wp wpvulnerability mariadb`
* MySQL: `wp wpvulnerability mysql`
* ImageMagick: `wp wpvulnerability imagemagick`
* curl: `wp wpvulnerability curl`
* memcached: `wp wpvulnerability memcached`
* Redis: `wp wpvulnerability redis`
* SQLite: `wp wpvulnerability sqlite`

To configure the plugin you can use:

* Hide component: `wp wpvulnerability config hide <component> [on|off]`
* Notification email: `wp wpvulnerability config email <emails>` (comma separatted)
* Notification period: `wp wpvulnerability config period <never|daily|weekly>`
* Cache duration: `wp wpvulnerability config cache <1|6|12|24>` (in hours)

All commands support the `--format` option to specify the output format:

* `--format=table`: Displays the results in a table format (default).
* `--format=json`: Displays the results in JSON format.

Need help?

* `wp wpvulnerability --help`: Displays help information for WPVulnerability commands.
* `wp wpvulnerability [command] --help`: Displays help information for a WPVulnerability command.

= REST API =

The WPVulnerability plugin provides several **REST API endpoints** to fetch vulnerability information for different components of your WordPress site.

* Core: `/wpvulnerability/v1/core`
* Plugins: `/wpvulnerability/v1/plugins`
* Themes: `/wpvulnerability/v1/themes`
* PHP: `/wpvulnerability/v1/php`
* Apache HTTPD: `/wpvulnerability/v1/apache`
* nginx: `/wpvulnerability/v1/nginx`
* MariaDB: `/wpvulnerability/v1/mariadb`
* MySQL: `/wpvulnerability/v1/mysql`
* ImageMagick: `/wpvulnerability/v1/imagemagick`
* curl: `/wpvulnerability/v1/curl`
* memcached: `/wpvulnerability/v1/memcached`
* Redis: `/wpvulnerability/v1/redis`
* SQLite: `/wpvulnerability/v1/sqlite`

The WPVulnerability REST API uses **Application Passwords** for authentication. You need to include a valid Application Password in the Authorization header of your requests.

Example Request with Authentication

`curl -X GET https://example.com/wp-json/wpvulnerability/v1/plugins -u username:application_password`

Replace username with your WordPress `username` and `application_password` with your [Application Password](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/05/application-passwords-integration-guide/).

== Extra Configurations ==

= "From:" mail (since: 3.2.2) =

If, for some reason, you need the emails sent by the plugin to have a From different from the site administrator, you can change it from the `wp-config.php` by adding a constant:

`define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_MAIL', 'sender@example.com' );`

If the constant is active, it will be visible in the configuration screen.

= Force hiding checks (since: 4.1.0) =

If you want to always hide a specific component, you can define a constant in `wp-config.php`. When set to `true`, the option will be checked automatically in the settings screen and the related analysis will be skipped.

Example:

`define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_APACHE', true );`

Available constants: `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_CORE`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_PLUGINS`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_THEMES`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_PHP`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_APACHE`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_NGINX`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_MARIADB`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_MYSQL`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_IMAGEMAGICK`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_CURL`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_MEMCACHED`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_REDIS`, `WPVULNERABILITY_HIDE_SQLITE`.

= Cache duration (since: 4.1.0) =

By default, data from the API is cached for 12 hours. To change this, define `WPVULNERABILITY_CACHE_HOURS` in `wp-config.php` with one of `1`, `6`, `12` or `24`. This value overrides the setting screen and WP-CLI command.

`define( 'WPVULNERABILITY_CACHE_HOURS', 24 );`

== Installation ==

= Automatic download =

Visit the plugin section in your WordPress, search for [wpvulnerability]; download and install the plugin.

= Manual download =

Extract the contents of the ZIP and upload the contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/wpvulnerability/` directory. Once uploaded, it will appear in your plugin list.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where does the vulnerability information come from? =

The origin is in the WPVulnerability.com API. The vulnerabilities that appear in this API come from different sources, such as CVEs.

= Is data from my site sent anywhere? =

No. Never. Your privacy is very important to us. We do not commercialize with your data.

= What vulnerabilities will I find? =

Vulnerabilities in WordPress Core, Plugins, Themes, PHP, Apache HTTPD, nginx, MariaDB, MySQL, ImageMagick, curl, memcached, Redis, and SQLite are documented.
