This plugin has identified vulnerabilities that other plugins – ‘Plugin Vulnerabilities’
and even Wordfence – did not. I consider this a must-have plugin for all WordPress
websites.

### 󠀁[Good plugin, but not ideal on WordPress multisite](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-but-not-ideal-on-wordpress-multisite/)󠁿

The plugin is very useful to see which plugins have known vulnerabilities. On WordPress
multisite, however, it displays this information in the site admin backend of the
main site instead of the network admin backend. That makes it a bit inconvenient,
because network admins have to go to the site admin backend of the main site to 
see the list of vulnerabilities in their network.

After realizing I had some plugins installed with published vulnerabilities I went
looking for a plugin to notify me of this. Vulnerability Alerts does this task very
effectively.
