Plugin Security Scorecard Research

When it comes to trying to determine if WordPress plugins are secure, there is a lot of bad advice out there. Much of it coming from security providers who either don’t care about the truthfulness of what they are saying or are outright dishonest. That makes it all the more important for us to ensure that our Plugin Security Scorecard does the best job possible counteracting that, by providing useful security grades for plugins. To help us accomplish that, we are doing research to make sure that criteria we use in grades make sense and to find new criteria to further improve the grading. We are publishing details of our findings on our blog. You can read about our finding through following posts:
