WordPress Adds Automated Plugin Reviews to Block High-Risk Updates Before Distribution
Matched: WordPress
WordPress has introduced automated security scanning for all plugin updates before distribution via WordPress.org. While new plugins already undergo review before entering the directory, updates previously shipped without similar checks. The system will analyze each release for potential security issues and block high-risk updates before they reach users, closing a long-standing gap in the platform's plugin security process.
