WordPress Security
The size of WordPress and the perception of security play a significant role.
WordPress powers more than 40 percent of all websites on the Internet.
This wide adoption means that there are more WordPress sites than any other CMS.
Statistically, it makes sense that more WordPress sites are hacked than those built with less popular CMSs.
Many users believe it is inherently insecure, but this is often due to poor practices, such as using outdated software or unsupported plugins.
Security is not about perfectly invulnerable systems, but rather about reducing risk through appropriate controls.
WordPress Security Team
WordPress powers more than 42.7 percent of all websites on the Internet, and with hundreds of thousands of theme and plugin combinations, it is not surprising that vulnerabilities exist and new ones are constantly being discovered.
However, around the WordPress platform, there is a team of people dedicated to the timely resolution of vulnerabilities.
WordPress encourages responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities in the WordPress core, in plugins and themes available on WordPress.org or in the broader WordPress ecosystem.
The WordPress software development life cycle includes code review throughout the process, with open-source contributions reviewed by trusted committers.
The WordPress security team works to identify and resolve security issues in the core WordPress software, to strengthen the software against threats such as the OWASP Top Ten and to provide guidance to the entire ecosystem.
To resolve responsibly disclosed security vulnerabilities, the Security team works todevelop fixes, create solid test cases, and release those fixes in bugfix releases.
Although only the latest version of WordPress is officially supported, the team also backports fixes to older versions to ensure that older sites receive critical security fixes via automatic updates.
The Security team also works directly with major web hosting operators and security ecosystem providers to identify and mitigate threats to WordPress-based sites, including coordinating release rollouts and developing web application firewall (WAF) mitigations.
With more than 50 experts, including developers, researchers and contributors,members of the WordPress Security Team are dedicated to identifying and solving problems in the software and ecosystem
