The WordPress Plugin Detection Scanner is a security tool designed to identify installed and active plugins on WordPress websites. By scanning publicly accessible metadata and fingerprinting known plugin assets, it detects which plugins are in use without requiring administrative access.
This capability is crucial for vulnerability assessments, as outdated or vulnerable plugins are one of the most common attack vectors against WordPress sites. The scanner provides visibility into plugin usage, helping security teams evaluate exposure to known exploits and misconfigurations.
Results from the scan can guide patch management, plugin deactivation, or replacement decisions. Regular plugin detection also supports compliance efforts and strengthens overall WordPress security posture by highlighting potential risks in the site's plugin ecosystem.
