About this site

WordPress Vulnerability Information” (https://wordpress-security.info ) is a public interest security information site that distributes vulnerability information found in WordPress core programs, themes, and plugins in Japanese.

It is said that 40% of websites use WordPress (*1), and exploiting vulnerabilities related to WordPress is a very popular method for malicious attackers.

Even well-known companies and government agencies have been victims of unauthorized access due to failure to address known vulnerabilities discovered related to WordPress.(*2)

You can also receive information about updates that address vulnerabilities in the WordPress admin panel, but you will not see notifications for plugins and themes that have been left unfixed by the revealed vulnerabilities.
The only way to get such information is to check out a medium such as our website that distributes vulnerability information.

There are other informational websites that provide information on WordPress-related vulnerabilities and encourage countermeasures before the damage is done, but most of them are provided in English-speaking countries.

WordPress Vulnerability Information” provides WordPress related vulnerability information in Japanese so that Japanese people can be familiar with it.
