MainWP check plugins vulnerability extension
Extension for MainWP Dashboard. Check the installed website plugins for vulnerability use the WordFence vulnerability data feed api. You don't need to have WF plugin installed on your website! This is a manual check and only runs when you do a scan from MainWP Dashboard. It will check all child sites and all plugins, so also inactive plugins on child sites.
As from version 1.4.7 You need to get your own Wordfence API key (it is free).
Get your api key here: https://www.wordfence.com/account/integrations
Beware that it does have a download limit so do not update the file to often. You can find information about rate limits on the Wordfence website.
This MainWP extension can be used to manual check on vulnerabilties for plugins without using the WordFence plugin on your child sites.
