MainWP Jetpack Scan Extension

Managing security checks across several WordPress sites can mean reviewing each site separately. This extension brings vulnerability monitoring into the MainWP Dashboard, where site administrators can view results for connected Child Sites. It scans WordPress core, plugins, and themes against the WPScan vulnerability database, helping managers identify issues across their sites from one place.

The extension runs daily scans and also lets administrators start scans on demand, then sync results to the dashboard. A Jetpack Scan widget gives a security overview, while detailed findings include severity and recommended remediation steps. Administrators can review past threats and actions in the History tab, and apply automated quick fixes for many identified vulnerabilities.
