How we track

Signal, not noise

Hundreds of WordPress CVEs are published every month. We surface only the ones that actually put real sites at risk — and translate them into plain-English action.

We triage by impact

Every month we review disclosures from Patchstack, Wordfence and WPScan and keep the ones with critical or high severity, real-world exploitation, or large install bases.

We give the numbers

CVE identifier, CVSS score, affected plugin and version range, install count, and whether a patch exists yet — so you can judge your own exposure in seconds.

We tell you what to do

Each entry ends with a clear three-step response — update, mitigate, or remove — plus what to watch for next month. No jargon, no fear-mongering.

We read these so you don't have to

Vortex Media has kept WordPress sites secure since 1999. Move to our managed hosting and we monitor every disclosure, patch your plugins fast, and back it with a maintenance plan — so a roundup is just reading, not a fire drill.
