    Hi,

    am new to WordPress and want to know more about it. I have heard some concerns about there being security issues with WordPress.

    Are there still security issues with WordPress or was this something with earlier versions? Under what conditions are there security issues? Is it to do with installing 3rd partly plugins? Or not implementing it in the correct way? Or other things?

    Thanks.

    @aitpro — you’ve strayed from the OP’s question. If you and @whitefir want to continue this, please take to your blogs. Or, better yet, collaborate on a good white paper. But it’s gone far afield here.

    @aitpro

    You are proving our earlier point, as it is hard to distinguish between a request legitimately accessing functionality and exploitation of a vulnerability. Many, maybe most vulnerabilities, involve legitimate functionality being used by someone that shouldn’t have access to it or in a way that it wasn’t intended. The end results is that it would be very hard for security plugins to provide much, if any, protection against vulnerabilities.

    @steve – Yep, I agree 100%. Should have just ignored this thread. ??

    @whitefirdesign – Yep, I understand where you are coming from, but unfortunately it is outside of the scope or intended purpose for any security plugins. If you would like further explanation then you can contact us here: https://www.ait-pro.com/contact/
