FALKEN'S MAZE / CHECKS / ABANDONED PLUGINS

Abandoned plugins

Plugin Recon WordPress (Plugin Recon)

What Joshua checks

Flags plugins with no WordPress.org release in two years, even when the installed version is the latest. With the Plugin Recon WordPress plugin, every installed plugin.

Why it matters

Nobody is fixing an abandoned plugin, so the next vulnerability found in it stays open.

How to fix it

Replace abandoned plugins with maintained alternatives, or remove them if you no longer need them.
