Introducing OOPVulns - The WordPress Vulnerability Scanner Plugin

Keeping WordPress secure means constantly tracking updates across core, plugins, and themes. It’s easy to miss something critical. OOPVulns is a vulnerability scanner that monitors your WordPress installation and alerts you to security threats, so you can stay protected with minimal effort.
What is OOPVulns?
OOPVulns automatically scans your WordPress installation and checks every component against a constantly updated database of known security threats:
- WordPress Core - Alerts you to outdated or vulnerable WordPress versions
- Plugins - Identifies security issues in your active and inactive plugins
- Themes - Finds vulnerabilities in the themes running on your site

Key Features
✅ Quick Setup - Install and activate to begin scanning immediately. Minimal configuration required.
✅ Email Notifications - Receive immediate alerts when vulnerabilities are detected.
✅ Seamless OOPSpam Integration - If OOPSpam Anti-Spam is active, OOPVulns automatically retrieves your API key without additional setup.
✅ Continuously Updated Database - Our vulnerability database is refreshed with the latest threats to ensure you stay protected.
✅ Comprehensive Reports - Detailed vulnerability information including severity levels and remediation guidance.

For OOPSpam Customers: Extra Value, Zero Extra Cost
If you’re already an OOPSpam Anti-Spam customer, OOPVulns adds significant value to your security arsenal:
