Plecost - Wordpress Vulnerabilities Finder


Plecost is a vulnerability fingerprinting and vulnerability finder for Wordpress blog engine.

Why?
There are a huge number of Wordpress around the world. Most of them are exposed to be attacked and be converted into a virus, malware or illegal porn provider, without the knowledge of the blog owner.
This project try to help sysadmins and blog's owners to make a bit secure their Wordpress.

What's new?
This Plecost 3 version, add a lot of new features and fixes, like:
  • Fixed a lot of bugs.
  • New engine: without threads or any dependencies, but run more faster. We'll used python 3 asyncio and non-blocking connections. Also consume less memory. Incredible, right? :)
  • Changed CVE update system and storage: Now Plecost get vulnerabilities directly from NIST and create a local SQLite data base with filtered information for Wordpress and theirs plugins.
  • Wordpress vulnerabilities: Now Plecost also manage Wordpress Vulnerabilities (not only for the Plugins).
  • Add local vulnerability database are queryable. You can consult the vulnerabilities for a concrete wordpress or plugins without, using the local database.
You can read entire list in CHANGELOG file.
