Plugin Security Scanner works by taking a list of all the plugins installed on a WP site, their current versions, and querying the WPScan Vulnerability Database for known security problems.
This scan is executed once a day automatically via WordPress' cron job feature, with the results emailed to the website administrator in case any problems are detected.
The scan can additionally be triggered manually if the user uses the special option embedded in the WordPress backend "Tools" menu.
In this case Plugin Security Scanner will list the results in a new WP backend page, along with a small description for each plugin found vulnerable.
Installation:
