Our "State of WordPress Security 2026" report is now live! 💥
This year we took a step back to look at the impact of vulnerabilities rather than the overall numbers.
We also teamed up with Monarx to explore how malware campaigns and techniques evolved during 2025.
**Key learnings:**
⚠️ More high severity vulnerabilities were found in 2025 than in the two previous years *combined*
⚡ Median time from discovery to mass exploitation for severe vulnerabilities is just 5 hours
❌ 46% of vulnerabilities were not fixed by developer by the time of public disclosure
💸 76% of vulnerabilities found in premium components were exploitable
🥷 Increased usage of uploader scripts suggests attackers are adopting more complex strategies
