In the first 6 months of 2023, the Wordfence Threat Intelligence team has already added 2,471 individual vulnerability records to the Wordfence Intelligence WordPress Vulnerability Database. This means we have already surpassed the total number of vulnerabilities disclosed last year (2022), which was 2,395 based on unique vulnerability records.
Our team actively monitors various vulnerability sources and conducts research of our own to make sure we have the most accurate and up-to-date information populating the Wordfence Intelligence Vulnerability Database (

With this in mind, we have decided to compile a report on some statistics, (

We have noticed some interesting trends like a high volume of shortcode-based vulnerabilities that were patched and disclosed at the start of this year, along with more vulnerabilities being disclosed in general.
While more vulnerabilities are being disclosed, the authentication and user interaction requirements for many of these vulnerabilities means they are unlikely to see active exploitation en masse which may be relieving for most WordPress site owners to hear. Luckily we have only seen one 0-day vulnerability this year, but several critical vulnerabilities were patched this year that became prime targets for attackers.
Take a moment to review this, and more, in the 2023 Mid-Year WordPress vulnerability report (
