Written by Michael Moore of iThemes on September 9, 2020
Last Updated on September 22, 2020
New WordPress plugin and theme vulnerabilities were disclosed during the first half of September, so we want to keep you aware. In this post, we cover recent WordPress plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities and what to do if you are running one of the vulnerable plugins or themes on your website.
The WordPress Vulnerability Roundup is divided into three different categories: WordPress core, WordPress plugins, and WordPress themes.
Is Your WordPress Website Secure?
DID YOU KNOW – A staggering 83% of WordPress websites are not upgraded or updated, is your website one of these?
Hacks happen due to lack of website upkeep and protection, like updating WordPress or plugins, plus using weak passwords. Contrary to popular belief, web designers and website hosting companies are not responsible for the security of your WordPress website; you are. It’s like using your computer without Anti-virus!
