[Plugin: WordPress Exploit Scanner] ~1400 false positives?
-
The results I get from the scan using version 0.94 of the WordPress Exploit Scanner on my WordPress 2.9.1 blog are somewhere between difficult and impossible to interpret.
If I copy the results of the scan to a plain text file, the file is 5496 lines long. That suggests on the order of 1400 messages with one of the following severities: Blocker, Severe, Warning or Note.
I’ve searched for a guide or support that would help me weed out the false positives and determine whether I have any actual vulnerabilities that need attention, but I haven’t found anything yet.
It would take ages to manually check every warning to decide whether it’s an actual hack or not. With no additional help or resources, I have to assume that the exploit scanner is either broken or displays too many false positives to be of any actual use at this time.
