About our API
Where does the vulnerability data come from?
Many of the vulnerabilities in our database are manually verified by a WordPress security professsional. These are indicated by the “Verified” flag in the API. Although this is very time consuming, we feel it is important to verify any vulnerability which may have a real‑world impact on user’s sites, while reducing the possibility of false positives. Our vulnerabilities are sourced from around the web, as well as being sent to us directly by security researchers. We also find many security issues ourselves. We are a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) , so we are able to directly assign CVE numbers for WordPress core vulnerabilities, pluguin vulnerabilities and theme vulnerabilities. We are constantly updating older vulnerabilities with new information as it comes to light. Checc out our WordPress Vulnerability Statistics for further details about our vulnerability data.
