External services
This plugin connects to an external API at https://vulntitan.com/api/vulnerabilities to fetch up-to-date vulnerability data for WordPress core, plugins, and themes. This data is essential to detect known vulnerabilities during scan operations.
When a scan is performed, the following data is sent to the VulnTitan API:
– The slug and version of each plugin, theme, or WordPress core installation on the site.
This data is transmitted only during scans initiated by the user or by scheduled scan settings. No personal or user-identifying information is collected, transmitted, or stored.
The external service is provided by VulnTitan.com.
