It is powered by the WordPress ecosystem’s most active community of ethical hackers. Patchstack is trusted by leading WordPress experts such as Pagely, Cloudways, GridPane, Plesk, and others! Patchstack is a security plugin for WordPress that finds WP core, plugin and theme vulnerabilities in your websites. The free version includes up to 48-hour early warning for new vulnerabilities found by our security research community. It also allows you to automatically update vulnerable software, manage updates remotely, and get snapshot reports on your sites’ security status. The paid version includes automatic vulnerability protection. Patchstack deploys highly targeted rules on a per-site basis, only when a specific vulnerability is detected on a site. This prevents vulnerable components from being exploited without modifying website code, or impacting site performance or functionality. Patchstack’s paid version includes access to 12,000+ individual protection rules (vPatches). Patchstack paid version also includes other preventive security features, such as 2 factor authentication, WordPress specific hardening rules, a Community IP blocklist for malicious IP addresses, advanced security settings, and custom protection rules. ### Post-hack cleanups vs attack prevention in WordPress security Unlike the standard approach to WordPress security (malware scanning and infection cleanups), Patchstack is focused on preventing infections in the first place. Thanks to its big WordPress security research community and partnerships with nearly one thousand plugin vendors and developers, Patchstack is regularly among the first to identify new vulnerabilities. ### Who is Patchstack’s WordPress security plugin for? Patchstack’s vulnerability management works extremely well for: * Agencies with WordPress care/maintenance plans for their customers’ websites * WooCommerce websites to protect their revenue and customers from attacks * Hosting companies that want to deliver highly targeted vulnerability protection easily and at scale Website owners You don’t have to be highly technical to use it. Install the plugin, connect it with the Patchstack App, and stay safe! ### What features are included in the Patchstack Personal (Free) plan? Patchstack’s Personal plan is a free security service for WordPress that lets you find and manage vulnerabilities in your websites. It includes access to a central security dashboard via the Patchstack web App for more visibility and control over your sites’ security: * Be the first to know about new vulnerabilities. * Receive notifications if any installed plugins or themes have security issues. * Detect the latest security vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins. * Detect the latest security vulnerabilities in WordPress themes. * Detect the latest security vulnerabilities in WordPress core. * Receive real-time alerts via email if any security vulnerabilities are found. * Manage core, plugin and theme updates from a single dashboard. * [Optional] Enable automatic updates for vulnerable plugins only. * Generate snapshot reports about the security status of your website. ### What features do Patchstack paid subscriptions have?

A worrisome website hacking statistic is that well over 90% of WordPress vulnerabilities are related to plugins or themes. One report found that up to 98% of WordPress vulnerabilities are due to plugins, while another study reported that 95% were caused by plugins and themes. To stay secure, always keep your WordPress plugins, themes, and core updated and monitored. Be aware of which plugins you’re using and remove any that are no longer needed. When choosing a WordPress security plugin, it’s important to understand how the WordPress security ecosystem works. Look for a tool that offers [vPatching](https://patchstack.com/articles/virtual-patching) (see [Patchstack’s features](https://patchstack.com/pricing)). ### How does the Patchstack Personal (Free) plan protect sites from vulnerabilities? The Patchstack Personal (Free) plan alerts you if vulnerabilities are present in the plugins, themes, or WordPress core installed on your site. By staying informed, you can reduce the time and resources spent fixing WordPress security issues and avoid costly clean-ups. ### What features does the Patchstack Personal (Free) plan include? You can detect security vulnerabilities in your WordPress plugins, themes, and core. You’ll receive email notifications if vulnerabilities are found, and access a central security overview for up to 3 websites using the Patchstack App. You can optionally enable vPatching for individual sites for $5/month. ### What features does the Patchstack Developer (Paid) plan include? With the Patchstack Developer plan, you can protect your sites against known plugin and theme vulnerabilities through automatic virtual patches — non-intrusive firewall rules that block exploit attempts. You also gain access to advanced hardening options, 2FA, CAPTCHA, security reports, and various alert types. ### Included features: * Plugin vulnerability detection (also included in free) * Theme vulnerability detection (also included in free) * WordPress core vulnerability detection (also included in free) * Logs and analytics (also included in free) * Snapshot PDF security reports (also included in free) * Email alerts (also included in free) * vPatches for WordPress plugins * vPatches for WordPress themes * Unlimited custom firewall rules * Unlimited custom alert triggers * Weekly/monthly PDF reports * Slack alerts * Unlimited [Patchstack App API usage](https://docs.patchstack.com/api-solutions/app-api/patchstack-app-api/) ### What checks does the Patchstack Personal (Free) plan perform? No external checks are performed. The plugin matches the installed plugins, themes, and WordPress core on your site with our [vulnerability database](https://patchstack.com/database/) to identify vulnerable versions. ### How will I be alerted about a new vulnerability? With the Personal (Free) plan, you’ll receive alerts via email. Slack alerts are available in the paid Developer plan. ### Does Patchstack conflict with other security plugins? We have not encountered any conflicts. However, we recommend using as few security plugins as possible and avoiding overlapping features to prevent potential issues. If you encounter problems, contact our support team for assistance. ### Does the Personal (Free) plan include a firewall? No, the free version does not include a firewall. It focuses on vulnerability detection and notifications. ### Will Patchstack slow down my website? The free version only runs scheduled tasks, with no noticeable impact on your site speed or server load. The paid version runs tasks on each page load to filter traffic, but our tests and customer feedback confirm minimal performance impact. ### Does Patchstack work on multisite? Yes. After installation, you can activate Patchstack per site within the network. Each subsite must be added individually to your Patchstack account and will take one site slot. ### Where can I learn more about Patchstack?

Patchstack published CVE-2025-57923 and did not respond for a couple weeks while we actively tried to respond to a purported vulnerability. However the Head of Threat Intelligence at Patchstack reached out to us directly. We were able to communicate directly, understand the underlying concerns and he helped us resolve this issue within hours. Very helpful. Triage team obviously doing their best. Much credit to them. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/705330bd08ea993c7eed782d2a1b5c64f709e5c56397d1a7612c8aa7243dfd13? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Smart extra layer of protection for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/smart-extra-layer-of-protection-for-wordpress/)󠁿 [robertozoll](https://profiles.wordpress.org/robertozoll/) 2025-يىلى 6-ئىيۇن 1 reply Patchstack has been a great tool for keeping my WordPress sites secure. I really like the early vulnerability alerts and the virtual patching feature—it gives me peace of mind knowing that known issues are blocked even before plugins are officially updated. It’s lightweight, doesn’t slow down the site, and the dashboard makes it easy to monitor multiple installations. That said, it’s not a complete security suite—so I still use it alongside a firewall. But as a vulnerability monitor and patching layer, it works very well. Highly recommended. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/503e8130a550d1f0ff74d69de7fab67d26c4de6cb167902de471d7fcb93e0c57? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-support-288/)󠁿 [Playzare](https://profiles.wordpress.org/playzare/) 2025-يىلى 13-فېۋرال 1 reply Was talking to their AI support and it automatically switched to human who solved my issue by herself.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Patchstack continues to evolve into something even more remarkable.
