WordPress security vulnerabilities

WordPress regularly releases security patches to prevent attackers exploiting vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, object injection and stored cross-site scripting.

Most WordPress sites have automatic short-cycle core updates enabled, and will receive these patches automatically — but it’s still possible for some websites to miss them if automatic updates are disabled.

As a general rule, we recommend:

• Automatic short-cycle WordPress core updates (this is vital nowadays)
• Against automatic major WordPress core updates
• Against automatic plugin auto-updates
• Regular WordPress maintenance

If you’re unsure, contact your web developer ASAP to prevent current and future exploits.

Regular WordPress maintenance can’t prevent every issue — but it greatly reduces risk and helps your site recover faster when problems occur.

Keep your website safe, fast and reliable with proactive care.
